Gets the Graphics object associated with this Bitmap.
Namespace:
Aurigma.GraphicsMill
Assembly:
Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
public Graphics GetGraphics()
Several calls of this method will return the same object.
You can freely dispose the Graphics returned with this method, although it is not necessary. If you dispose this graphics object, next call of the GetGraphics() method will create new instance of this class.
GDI cannot handle bitmaps with an alpha channel when it draws anything on it. As the high byte of 4-byte color must be zero in GDI, each pixel drawn with GDI becomes transparent. So now, if you try to call any drawing methods for the bitmaps with an alpha channel when using GDI, the UnsupportedPixelFormatException exception will be thrown.
