'Usage
Dim instance As Device

    TextureFilter filter
)

public:

    Rectangle destRectangle, 
    TextureFilter filter
)

public void StretchRectangle (
    Surface sourceSurface, 
    Rectangle sourceRectangle,

    Rectangle destRectangle, 
    TextureFilter filter
)

    destRectangle : Rectangle, 
    filter : TextureFilter
)

Not applicable.

Parameters

sourceSurface
A Surface object that represents the source surface.

sourceRectangle
A Rectangle object that represents the source rectangle. If a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the entire source surface is used.

destSurface
A Surface object that represents the destination surface.

destRectangle
A Rectangle object that represents the destination rectangle. If a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the entire destination surface is used.

filter
Filter type. The allowable values are Point or Linear. For more information see TextureFilter.

Remarks

The source rectangle can be stretched and filtered by the copy. This method is often used to change the aspect ratio of a video stream.

If the operation results in stretching or shrinking, not all surface combinations are valid for StretchRectangle. Other factors include the types of surfaces involved and their formats.

The following table shows valid surface destination format combinations:

Source format	Texture	RT Texture	RT	Off-screen plain
Texture	No	Yes	Yes	No
RT texture	No	Yes	Yes	No
RT	No	Yes	Yes	No
Off-screen plain	No	Yes	Yes	Yes, but only with no stretching

If filtering is specified, StretchRectangle fails unless the driver sets StretchRectangleFilterCaps. If None is specified, the driver chooses a filtering algorithm.

You can use depth stencil surfaces in StretchRectangle calls, provided there is no stretching or shrinking occurring in the call. The following restrictions also apply to DepthStencil surfaces when being copied with a StretchRectangle call:

Both surfaces must be of the same format with no format conversion.
No stretching or shrinking is allowed.
Only the entire surface can be copied. Sub-rectangle copies are not allowed.

Applications should use CopyRects or UpdateTexture rather than StretchRectangle to load texture maps, because they were designed to use internal information and dirt rectangle tables.

Stretching between rectangles on the same surface is not supported. To test the hardware for color conversion, use the CheckDeviceFormatConversion method of a Manager because software emulation for the conversion is not supported. This method also indicates whether stretching between surfaces of the same format is supported. Stretching or shrinking is not supported if either of the surfaces has a DXTn compressed format. The source surface must not be multisampled.
