Graphics::SetSmoothingMode Method
The SetSmoothingMode method sets the rendering quality of the Graphics object.
Syntax
Status SetSmoothingMode(
SmoothingMode smoothingMode );
Parameters
- smoothingMode
- [in] Element of the SmoothingMode enumeration that specifies whether smoothing (antialiasing) is applied to lines and curves.
Return Value
If the method succeeds, it returns Ok, which is an element of the Status enumeration.
If the method fails, it returns one of the other elements of the Status enumeration.
Remarks
To get the rendering quality for text, use the GetTextRenderingHint method. The higher the level of quality of the smoothing mode, the slower the performance.
Example
The following example sets the smoothing mode to two different values and fills an ellipse to demonstrate each mode.
VOID Example_SetSetSmoothingMode(HDC hdc) { Graphics graphics(hdc); // Set the smoothing mode to SmoothingModeHighSpeed, and fill an ellipse. graphics.SetSmoothingMode(SmoothingModeHighSpeed); graphics.FillEllipse(&SolidBrush(Color(255, 0, 0, 0)), 0, 0, 200, 100); // Set the smoothing mode to SmoothingModeHighQuality, and fill an ellipse. graphics.SetSmoothingMode(SmoothingModeHighQuality); graphics.FillEllipse(&SolidBrush(Color(255, 0, 0, 0)), 200, 0, 200, 100); }
