BitmapDrawingText

Draws path on Graphics.

Code Snippet

var createPath = (Graphics graphics) =>
{
    var path = new Path();

    var font = graphics.CreateFont("Arial", "Bold", 40f);

    var text = new PlainText("GraphicsMill", font)
    {
        Alignment = TextAlignment.Center,
    };

    var blackBox = text.GetBlackBox(graphics.FontRegistry, graphics.DpiX, graphics.DpiY);
    text.Position = new System.Drawing.PointF(blackBox.Width, blackBox.Height * 2.3f);

    path.DrawEllipse(0, 0, blackBox.Width * 2, blackBox.Height * 4);
    path.DrawText(text, graphics.FontRegistry, graphics.DpiX, graphics.DpiY);

    return path;
};

using (var bitmap = new Bitmap(640, 480, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb, RgbColor.White))
using (var graphics = bitmap.GetGraphics())
{
    var path = createPath(graphics);

    graphics.DrawPath(new Pen(RgbColor.Red, 2f), path);

    // Translate coordinates and rotate
    var matrix = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.Matrix();
    matrix.Translate(bitmap.Width / 3, bitmap.Height / 3);
    matrix.Rotate(30);
    graphics.Transform = matrix;

    graphics.DrawPath(new Pen(RgbColor.Green, 2f), path);

    bitmap.Save("DrawPath.png");
}
