Example
// Draws a rectangle in an Image control and erases it
IMG_Drawing.ChangeMode(drawXOR)
// Displays the rectangle (in XOR mode)
IMG_Drawing.DrawRectangle(0, 0, 100, 100)
Multitask(10)
// Erases the rectangle
IMG_Drawing.DrawRectangle(0, 0, 100, 100)
Syntax
<Image control>.ChangeMode(<New mode>)
<Image control>: Control name
Name of the Image control to be used.
<New mode>: Integer constant
Mode for drawing in the image:
drawAntiAliasingUses the GDI+ and/or the features of the video card to draw the lines and the circles without jagged effects. This drawing mode is slower but the results are better than with the standard mode.
drawDefaultStandard colors.
drawXORColors applied via an "exclusive or" operation with the background. Erases a drawing if this option is used twice.
CAUTION: This drawing mode is not compatible with the management of opacity (the drawing is not erased anymore).
Caution:
  • The drawing in XOR mode is available for the Image controls only. The drawing in XOR mode is not available for the Image variables.
  • The drawXOR constant cannot be combined with the drawAntiAliasing constant.

Anti-aliasing

The anti-aliasing consists in drawing the lines and the circles without jagged effects. This feature requires the GDI+ framework (which means the WINDEV framework).
Versions 16 and later

Android Anti-aliasing is now available for Android applications.
New in version 16

Example:
Limits:
  • <Image>.DrawChord is not supported in this mode.
  • To avoid the jagged edges, the colors and the lines of elements are smoothed out. Some drawing functions can have an unexpected behavior because the specified colors are no longer found. For example, if a borderline color is specified for <Image>.Fill, this color is not found: the entire area is filled up.
  • For a drawing with anti-aliasing, <Image>.DrawPolygon and <Image>.DrawSlice have the following behavior. The outline is drawn above the inside of the polygon: therefore, the line is partly combined with the inside of the polygon. If the line is very thick, it will be displayed in two colors.
  • For more details on the use of GDI+, see GDI+ framework.
