public void Draw (
         Texture2D texture,
         Vector2 position,
         Nullable<Rectangle> sourceRectangle,
         Color color,
         float rotation,
         Vector2 origin,
         Vector2 scale,

)

public:
void Draw(
         Texture2D texture,
         Vector2 position,
         Nullable<Rectangle> sourceRectangle,
         Color color,
         float rotation,
         Vector2 origin,
         Vector2 scale,
         SpriteEffects effects,
         float layerDepth
)

Parameters

• texture
  Type: Texture2D
  A texture.
• position
  Type: Vector2
  The location (in screen coordinates) to draw the sprite.
• sourceRectangle
  Type: Nullable<Rectangle>
  A rectangle that specifies (in texels) the source texels from a texture. Use null to draw the entire texture.
• color
  Type: Color
  The color to tint a sprite. Use Color.White for full color with no tinting.
• rotation
  Type: Single
  Specifies the angle (in radians) to rotate the sprite about its center.
• origin
  Type: Vector2
  The sprite origin; the default is (0,0) which represents the upper-left corner.
• scale
  Type: Vector2
  Scale factor.
• effects
  Type: SpriteEffects
  Effects to apply.
• layerDepth
  Type: Single
  The depth of a layer. By default, 0 represents the front layer and 1 represents a back layer. Use SpriteSortMode if you want sprites to be sorted during drawing.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	texture is null.
InvalidOperationException	Draw was called, but Begin has not yet been called. Begin must be called successfully before you can call Draw.

Remarks

Before making any calls to Draw, you must call Begin. Once all calls to Draw are complete, call End.

If you are texture wrapping with a Reach profile or texture wrapping on Windows Phone, the texture must have power of 2 dimensions.
