-> unit
- bitmapData IReadWriteBitmapData
- The IReadWriteBitmapData instance to draw on.
- color Color32
- The color of the text outline to draw.
- text String
- A string that represents the text to draw.
- font Font
- The Font that defines the typeface, size, and style of the text.
- location PointF
- The location of the upper-left corner of the text's bounding rectangle.
- format StringFormat (Optional)
- A StringFormat instance that specifies text formatting information, such as line spacing and alignment. This parameter is optional.
Default value: . - drawingOptions DrawingOptions (Optional)
- A DrawingOptions instance that specifies the drawing options to use.
If , then the default options are used. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type
IReadWriteBitmapData. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see
Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or
Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).
This method draws only the outline of a text. To draw a text with filled characters, use the DrawText methods instead.
To draw a text with both filled and outlined characters, instead of calling
DrawText
and
DrawTextOutline consecutively, you can achieve a better performance by creating a
Path once, and then calling
the
FillPath and
DrawPath methods.
You can convert the specified
text to a
Path by using the
GraphicsPath.AddString and
GraphicsPathExtensions.ToPath methods.
If you draw the text without antialiasing, it is recommended to set the
FastThinLines to
in
drawingOptions
so the outline correctly aligns to the filled area.
When AntiAliasing is set in drawingOptions and you use non-monochromatic colors, it is recommended to specify Linear
color space when you obtain the IReadWriteBitmapData instance, especially for small fonts; otherwise, the quality of the drawn text can be poor if alpha colors are blended in the sRGB color space.
See more details at the Examples section of the WorkingColorSpace enumeration.
This method adjusts the degree of parallelization automatically, blocks the caller, and does not support cancellation or reporting progress. You can use the overloads that have
a
ParallelConfig parameter to configure these, while still executing the method synchronously. Alternatively, use
the
BeginDrawTextOutline or
DrawTextOutlineAsync
(in .NET Framework 4.0 and above) methods to perform the operation asynchronously.
