C# - Enable Me To Render Rotated Text With The TextRenderer.DrawText Method?
Oct 6, 2010I'm using some code to enable me to render rotated text with the TextRenderer.DrawText method. (By default, DrawText can only copy a straight forward x and y transform from a graphics object).
The code (C#) is from: connect.microsoft.com. See below for a VB conversion.The code takes a graphics object, creates a device context and copies the transform matrix from the graphics object. It works, but I'd like, also, to set the TextRenderingHint, so I tried:
<DllImport("gdiplus.dll", CharSet:=CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError:=True, ExactSpelling:=True)> _
Public Shared Function GdipSetTextRenderingHint(ByVal graphics As HandleRef, ByVal textRenderingHint As System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint) As Integer End Function And then after the SetClip statement, I place: GdipSetTextRenderingHint(hDC, someHint) This gives me a memory access violation error, so I think I should be using something other than hDC as the argument.
I can get it to work by creating the device context from the original graphics object, and then creating another graphics object from the device context. I then set the hint on the new graphics object. This seems a bit convoluted so I was wondering if it was possible through interop.

TextRenderer.DrawText Rectangle Area Offset For BorderStyles
Dec 5, 2010Drawing text on a picbox I notice if the picbox has a border style set then the TextRenderer.DrawText rectangle area needs to be adjusted slightly otherwise text may be drawn very near the picbox borders and the text doesn't look as clean, but I'm not sure what those offsets should be, I hard coded them in, see code under "' area to draw". btw, the code draws the first word of text in bold and then the other words as regular.

View 4 RepliesHow To Draw Readable Tiny Text Quickly
Jul 28, 2010In developing a flash-based memory manager, I need to be able to view large quantities of data. With my eyes and monitor resolution, I can read hand-drawn 3x5 letters on a 4x6 matrix without too much difficulty, but none of the system TrueType fonts render optimally at that size. I've tried writing code to draw font shapes to off-screen bitmaps, and then use DrawImage to copy those bitmaps to the screen, but I can't get good performance. This is for development, not production, so performance doesn't have to be absolutely optimal, but I don't want to spend too long waiting for screens of data to refresh.
What would be the best way of either making .net display a font which is pixel-perfect what I want, or else building a bitmap out of lots of little pieces quickly? I'm using vb.net, so I can't simply generate a bitmap as a byte array and pass that to the Bitmap constructor unless someone can show me how to convert an array into an IntPtr.

I was thinking it may be that SolidBrush does not support transparency, but I found a predefined brush named Transparent (Brushes.Transparent) that was a SolidBrush when I looked at it in debug. I tried to use Brushes.Transparent as the brush when drawing the text, and it was successfully not showing at all. That means I get full transparency to work, but not partial transparency.

Draw Vertical Text To A Graphics Path In Down-up Direction?
Oct 8, 2009I have an application that makes a drawing with measurements both horisontal and vertical. I like to get the vertical measurements to be in direction down-up, not up-down direction as StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical does. All the measuretexts are drawn to a graphics path. Because that path includes all measures at different locations I canīt TransformRotate that path, the text should be rotated before it is passed to the graphics path, or ? It would be so nice if it would be a StringFormatFlags.DirectionVerticalUp to handle it.

Interface And Graphics :: Dynamicaly Center Multiple DrawText "Labels"?
Feb 23, 2010I've drawn a graph where each gridline represents 15 minutes. (Every 4, 1 hour of time)The resolution is 100 dpi per inch. Each column is 12 DPI. (Not very big)Each gridline can have zero to multiple "Lines of data" which must be centered under the associated gridline using a vertical transform. (Each drawtext label represents an event that happened at that point in time)This I can figure out. The problem is that there can be 3 labels at 3:00AM, then another 2 labels at 3:15 AM with more labels as time progresses through the day. If each "label takes up 24 dpi of space, I need to center 120 dpi of data under 12 dpi of space.(Drawing the lines from the gridline to the associated data should not be an issue depending on how the "label is centered)How can I center all 5 labels at runtime. I've considered an array but each time a "label" is added, I would have to recaculate each labels position. Besides that, how can my program recgnize that the data it is coming up to (data is read one line at a time) is a group or how large the group is?

What would be the best control for this? The panel control looks like a good candidate but the experiment I tried actually performed worse
