Detailed Description

A wxGraphicsContext instance is the object that is drawn upon.

It is created by a renderer using wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContext(). This can be either directly using a renderer instance, or indirectly using the static convenience Create() functions of wxGraphicsContext that always delegate the task to the default renderer.

void MyCanvas::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent &event)
{
// Create paint DC
wxPaintDC dc(this);
// Create graphics context from it
if (gc)
{
// make a path that contains a circle and some lines
gc->SetPen( *wxRED_PEN );
wxGraphicsPath path = gc->CreatePath();
path.AddCircle( 50.0, 50.0, 50.0 );
path.MoveToPoint(0.0, 50.0);
path.AddLineToPoint(100.0, 50.0);
path.MoveToPoint(50.0, 0.0);
path.AddLineToPoint(50.0, 100.0 );
path.CloseSubpath();
path.AddRectangle(25.0, 25.0, 50.0, 50.0);
gc->StrokePath(path);
delete gc;
}
}
A wxGraphicsContext instance is the object that is drawn upon.

virtual void StrokePath(const wxGraphicsPath &path)=0
Strokes along a path with the current pen.
void SetPen(const wxPen &pen)
Sets the pen used for stroking.
wxGraphicsPath CreatePath() const
Creates a native graphics path which is initially empty.
A wxGraphicsPath is a native representation of a geometric path.
Definition: graphics.h:21
virtual void AddCircle(wxDouble x, wxDouble y, wxDouble r)
Appends a circle around (x,y) with radius r as a new closed subpath.
virtual void MoveToPoint(wxDouble x, wxDouble y)
Begins a new subpath at (x,y).
virtual void CloseSubpath()
Closes the current sub-path.
virtual void AddLineToPoint(wxDouble x, wxDouble y)
Adds a straight line from the current point to (x,y).
virtual void AddRectangle(wxDouble x, wxDouble y, wxDouble w, wxDouble h)
Appends a rectangle as a new closed subpath.
A wxPaintDC must be constructed if an application wishes to paint on the client area of a window from...
Definition: dcclient.h:30
A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
Definition: event.h:2244
wxPen * wxRED_PEN
Red pen.
Definition: pen.h:541
Remarks
For some renderers (like Direct2D or Cairo) processing of drawing operations may be deferred (Direct2D render target normally builds up a batch of rendering commands but defers processing of these commands, Cairo operates on a separate surface) so to make drawing results visible you need to update the content of the context by calling wxGraphicsContext::Flush() or by destroying the context.

Member Function Documentation

◆ BeginLayer()

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::BeginLayer ( wxDouble  opacity)
pure virtual

All rendering will be done into a fully transparent temporary context.

Layers can be nested by making balanced calls to BeginLayer()/EndLayer().

◆ Clip() [1/2]

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::Clip ( const wxRegion region)
pure virtual

Sets the clipping region to the intersection of the given region and the previously set clipping region.

The clipping region is an area to which drawing is restricted.

Remarks
  • Clipping region should be given in logical coordinates.
  • Calling this function can only make the clipping region smaller, never larger.
  • You need to call ResetClip() first if you want to set the clipping region exactly to the region specified.
  • If resulting clipping region is empty, then all drawing upon the context is clipped out (all changes made by drawing operations are masked out).

◆ Clip() [2/2]

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::Clip ( wxDouble  x,
wxDouble  y,
wxDouble  w,
wxDouble  h 
)
pure virtual

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

◆ ConcatTransform()

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::ConcatTransform ( const wxGraphicsMatrix matrix)
pure virtual

Concatenates the passed in transform with the current transform of this context.

◆ Create() [1/7]

static wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsContext::Create ( )
static

Create a lightweight context that can be used only for measuring text.

◆ Create() [2/7]

static wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsContext::Create ( const wxEnhMetaFileDC &  metaFileDC)
static

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxEnhMetaFileDC.

This function, as wxEnhMetaFileDC class itself, is only available only under MSW.

See also
wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContext()

◆ Create() [3/7]

static wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsContext::Create ( const wxMemoryDC memoryDC)
static

◆ Create() [4/7]

static wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsContext::Create ( const wxPrinterDC printerDC)
static

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxPrinterDC.

Under GTK+, this will only work when using the GtkPrint printing backend which is available since GTK+ 2.10.

See also
wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContext(), Printing Under Unix (GTK+)

◆ Create() [5/7]

static wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsContext::Create ( const wxWindowDC windowDC)
static

◆ Create() [6/7]

static wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsContext::Create ( wxImage image)
static

Creates a wxGraphicsContext associated with a wxImage.

The image specifies the size of the context as well as whether alpha is supported (if wxImage::HasAlpha()) or not and the initial contents of the context. The image object must have a life time greater than that of the new context as the context copies its contents back to the image when it is destroyed.

Since
2.9.3

◆ Create() [7/7]

static wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsContext::Create ( wxWindow window)
static

◆ CreateBitmap()

virtual wxGraphicsBitmap wxGraphicsContext::CreateBitmap ( const wxBitmap bitmap)
pure virtual

Creates wxGraphicsBitmap from an existing wxBitmap.

Returns an invalid wxNullGraphicsBitmap on failure.

◆ CreateBitmapFromImage()

virtual wxGraphicsBitmap wxGraphicsContext::CreateBitmapFromImage ( const wxImage image)
virtual

Creates wxGraphicsBitmap from an existing wxImage.

This method is more efficient than converting wxImage to wxBitmap first and then calling CreateBitmap() but otherwise has the same effect.

Returns an invalid wxNullGraphicsBitmap on failure.

Since
2.9.3

◆ CreateBrush()

virtual wxGraphicsBrush wxGraphicsContext::CreateBrush ( const wxBrush brush) const
virtual

Creates a native brush from a wxBrush.

The use of overload taking wxFont is preferred, see wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateFont() for more details.

Remarks
For Direct2D graphics fonts can be created from TrueType fonts only.
Since
2.9.3

◆ CreateFromNative()

static wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsContext::CreateFromNative ( void *  context)

◆ CreateFromNativeWindow()

static wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsContext::CreateFromNativeWindow ( void *  window)
static

◆ CreateFromUnknownDC()

static wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsContext::CreateFromUnknownDC ( wxDC dc)
static

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a DC of unknown specific type.

Creates a wxGraphicsContext if dc is a supported type (i.e. has a corresponding Create() method, e.g. wxWindowDC or wxMemoryDC). Returns NULL if the DC is unsupported.

This method is only useful as a helper in generic code that operates with wxDC and doesn't known its exact type. Use Create() instead if you know that the DC is e.g. wxWindowDC.

See also
wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContextFromUnknownDC()
Since
3.1.1

◆ CreateLinearGradientBrush() [1/2]

wxGraphicsBrush wxGraphicsContext::CreateLinearGradientBrush ( wxDouble  x1,

wxDouble  x2,
wxDouble  y2,
const wxColour c1,
const wxColour c2,
const wxGraphicsMatrix matrix = wxNullGraphicsMatrix 
) const

The matrix parameter was added in wxWidgets 3.1.3

◆ CreateLinearGradientBrush() [2/2]

wxGraphicsBrush wxGraphicsContext::CreateLinearGradientBrush ( wxDouble  x1,
wxDouble  y1,
wxDouble  x2,
wxDouble  y2,
const wxGraphicsGradientStops stops,
const wxGraphicsMatrix matrix = wxNullGraphicsMatrix

wxDouble  b = 0.0,
wxDouble  c = 0.0,
wxDouble  d = 1.0,
wxDouble  tx = 0.0,
wxDouble  ty = 0.0 
) const
virtual

Creates a native affine transformation matrix from the passed in values.

The default parameters result in an identity matrix.

◆ CreatePath()

wxGraphicsPath wxGraphicsContext::CreatePath ( ) const

Creates a native graphics path which is initially empty.

◆ CreatePen() [1/2]

wxGraphicsPen wxGraphicsContext::CreatePen ( const wxGraphicsPenInfo info) const

Creates a native pen from a wxGraphicsPenInfo.

Since
3.1.1

◆ CreatePen() [2/2]

wxGraphicsPen wxGraphicsContext::CreatePen ( const wxPen pen) const

Creates a native pen from a wxPen.

Prefer to use the overload taking wxGraphicsPenInfo unless you already have a wxPen as constructing one only to pass it to this method is wasteful.

◆ CreateRadialGradientBrush() [1/2]

virtual wxGraphicsBrush wxGraphicsContext::CreateRadialGradientBrush ( wxDouble  startX,
wxDouble  startY,
wxDouble  endX,
wxDouble  endY,
wxDouble  radius,
const wxColour oColor,
const wxColour cColor,
const wxGraphicsMatrix matrix = wxNullGraphicsMatrix
