DrawingAttributes.RasterOperation Property
DrawingAttributes.RasterOperation Property |
Gets or sets a value that defines how the colors of the pen and background interact.
Definition
Visual Basic .NET Public Property RasterOperation As RasterOperation C# public RasterOperation RasterOperation { get; set; } Managed C++ public: __property RasterOperation* get_RasterOperation();
public: __property void set_RasterOperation(RasterOperation*);
Property Value
Microsoft.Ink.RasterOperation. The value that defines how the colors of the pen and background interact.
This property is read/write. This property has no default value.
Black1
Specifies black pen color. NotMergePen2
Specifies the inverse of MergePen. MaskNotPen3
Specifies a combination of the colors are common to the background color and the inverse of the pen. NotCopyPen4
Specifies the inverse of CopyPen. MakePenNot5
Specifies a combination of the colors are common to both the pen and the inverse of the display. Not6
Specifies the inverse of the display color. XOrPen7
Specifies a combination of the colors in the pen and in the display color, but not in both. NotMaskPen8
Specifies the inverse of MaskPen. MaskPen9
Specifies a combination of the colors common to both the pen and the display. NotXOrPen10
Specifies an inverse of XOrPen. NoOperation11
Specifies no operation; the output remains unchanged. MergeNotPen12
Specifies a combination of the display color and the inverse of the pen color. CopyPen13
Specifies the pen color. MergePenNot14
Specifies a combination of the pen color and the inverse of the display color. MergePen15
Specifies a combination of the pen color and the display color. White16
Specifies a white pen color.
Remarks
The RasterOperation enumeration defines values for performing raster operations on drawn ink. For example, if you want to perform subtractive transparency, set the raster value to
MaskPen
.For a complete list of available raster operations, see the RasterOperation enumeration type.
Note: Many printers do not support many of the available raster operations. Because of this, the colors displayed may be different than the colors printed. This is directly related to the printer drivers or printer hardware. You may have to experiment to determine which printers can produce the correct output when various raster operations are set on ink.
When the RasterOperation value is set to anything other than
CopyPen
, all drawing attributes—anti-aliasing, smoothing, transparency, and pressure—are ignored.
Examples
[C#]
This C# example sets the raster operation of the InkCollector object's default pen to
XOrPen
.theInkCollector.DefaultDrawingAttributes.RasterOperation = RasterOperation.XOrPen;
[VB.NET]
This Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET example sets the raster operation of the InkCollector object's default pen to
XOrPen
.theInkCollector.DefaultDrawingAttributes.RasterOperation = _ RasterOperation.XOrPen
