.NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell

Image

Synopsis

This abstract class is the base for Bitmap and System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile. Microsoft’s documentation claims that it is also the base for Icon, but this is not in fact the case in the first release of the framework.

It serves to define a drawing that has its own Page coordinate space, including a Size, HorizontalResolution, and VerticalResolution. It also supports multiframe images, in a variety of different dimensions such as time and resolution, as defined in the System.Drawing.Imaging.FrameDimension class.

Images can be drawn using the Graphics.DrawImage() method.
