.NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell

Name

RectangleF

Synopsis

This value type is the real equivalent of the integer-based Rectangle. Again, it defines a rectangular region of a 2D surface. It offers all the basic facilities of the Rectangle structure, and a conversion operator to convert from a Rectangle.

As with the Point / PointF pair, there is no intrinsic performance advantage in using the integer Rectangle, as all the Graphics painting methods are implemented in terms of the real version anyway (in the first release of the framework).

The same rendering issues also apply as for Rectangle-based shapes if you are not aligned to the pixel boundaries of the target device.
