Bitmap Creation

[allenmpcx]

I have a program right now that can read from a bitmap and then paint each pixel to a screen (I do this instead of choosing Graphics.DrawImage for transparency reasons). However, I wanted to take any character (like 'a' or ';'), and write it to a Bitmap. Is there a way to do this? Mike - I love to program!

Use the DrawString of the Graphics class to draw text. Use the FromImage method to get a Graphics object for the bitmap. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

So I create a graphics object, then call DrawString, then I call the FromImage method of the Bitmap class and pass in the graphics object? Mike - I love to program!

No, the other way around. You use the FromImage method of the Graphics class to create the Graphics object for the bitmap, then you use the Graphics object to draw on the bitmap. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
