Direct2D samples

The following samples demonstrate the Direct2D API.

Windows 10 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 samples

Sample	Description
Direct2D custom image effects sample	This sample demonstrates how to implement Custom effects using HLSL pixel, vertex, and compute shaders.
Direct2D gradient mesh sample	This sample demonstrates how to instantiate and render a gradient mesh in Direct2D. This samples uses the helper method provided by Direct2D to create a mesh consisting of two tensor patches that share a side.
Direct2D photo adjustment sample	This sample demonstrates how to build a photo viewer and editor using Direct2D and Direct2D Effects.

Windows 8 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 samples

Sample	Description
Direct2D composite effect modes sample	This sample shows the wide range of composite and blend modes available from Direct2D.
Direct2D basic image effects sample	This sample shows how to load an image, apply the Gaussian blur effect to it, and then display it in a Windows::UI::Core::CoreWindow.
JPEG YCbCr optimizations in Direct2D and WIC sample	Demonstrates performance optimizations in Direct2D and the Windows Imaging Component rendering image data in the JPEG YCbCr format natively.
DirectX postcard app sample	This sample demonstrates the end-to-end implementation of a simple Windows Store app using DirectX with C++ for postcard creation using DirectX and XAML interop.
