Image.GetBounds(GraphicsUnit) Method

Definition

Gets the bounds of the image in the specified unit.

C#
public System.Drawing.RectangleF GetBounds(ref System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit pageUnit);

Parameters

pageUnit
GraphicsUnit

One of the GraphicsUnit values indicating the unit of measure for the bounding rectangle.

Returns

The RectangleF that represents the bounds of the image, in the specified unit.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to load a bitmap from an Icon handle, using the GraphicsUnit enumeration, and how to use the Round method to draw the rectangle bounds of a bitmap.

This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. Create a form that contains a button named Button2. Paste the code into the form and associate this method with the button's Click event.

C#
private void Button2_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

    Bitmap bitmap1 = Bitmap.FromHicon(SystemIcons.Hand.Handle);
    Graphics formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
    GraphicsUnit units = GraphicsUnit.Point;

    RectangleF bmpRectangleF = bitmap1.GetBounds(ref units);
    Rectangle bmpRectangle = Rectangle.Round(bmpRectangleF);
    formGraphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Blue, bmpRectangle);
    formGraphics.Dispose();
}
