GDI+: GdipSetCompositingQuality

[José Roca]

The following example creates a solid brush based on a color that has an alpha component of 128. The code uses that brush to paint two rectangles. The first rectangle is painted with the compositing mode set to CompositingQualityHighSpeed, and the second rectangle is painted with the compositing mode set to CompositingQualityHighQuality.

{
   Graphics graphics(hdc);

   // Create a SolidBrush object with an alpha-blended color.
   SolidBrush alphaBrush(Color(180, 255, 0, 0));

   // Set the compositing mode to CompositingQualityHighSpeed,
   // and fill a rectangle.
   graphics.SetCompositingQuality(CompositingQualityHighSpeed);
   graphics.FillRectangle(&alphaBrush, 0, 0, 100, 100);

   // Set the compositing mode to CompositingQualityHighQuality,
   // and fill a rectangle.
   graphics.SetCompositingQuality(CompositingQualityHighQuality);
   graphics.FillRectangle(&alphaBrush, 100, 0, 100, 100);
