Graphics context and primitives to draw in them.

public class CGContext : IDisposable, ObjCRuntime.INativeObject

Inheritance: Object

Derived: CoreGraphics.CGBitmapContext

CoreGraphics.CGContextPDF

Implements: INativeObject IDisposable

Remarks

A CGContext is a Quartz 2D destination for drawing. It holds parameters and their states (set with functions such as M:CoreGraphics.CGContext.SetFillColor*) and device information (for instance, ConvertSizeToDeviceSpace(CGSize)). CGContexts may represent a screen area, a bitmap, a PDF document, or a printer.

There are a limited number of CGContexts available and application developer's should be conscientious about disposing of them after use. Generally, that means putting the drawing code in using blocks, as shown in the following example:

public override void Draw (RectangleF rect)
{
    base.Draw (rect);
    using (var context = UIGraphics.GetCurrentContext ())
    {
        // draw a rectangle using a path
	var myRectangleButtonPath = new CGPath ();
	myRectangleButtonPath.AddRect (new RectangleF (new PointF (100, 10), new SizeF (200, 400)));
	context.AddPath (myRectangleButtonPath);
	context.DrawPath (CGPathDrawingMode.Stroke);
    }
}

The example additionally shows the very common pattern of an overridden Draw(CGRect) method in a custom UIView and the use of GetImageFromCurrentImageContext() to retrieve the current CGContext on which to draw.
