F#

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member ToBitmap : 
        metafile : Metafile * 
        requestedSize : Size * 
        ?antiAliased : bool 
(* Defaults:
        let _antiAliased = defaultArg antiAliased false
*)
-> Bitmap

Parameters

metafile Metafile: The Metafile to convert.
requestedSize Size: The requested size of the result Bitmap. This overload does not maintain aspect ratio.
antiAliased Boolean (Optional): to create an anti-aliased result; otherwise, . This parameter is optional.
Default value: .

Return Value

Bitmap
A Bitmap instance of the requested size.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type Metafile. 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).

Remarks

If the source metafile contains already anti-aliased records, setting antiAliased to will not improve the result. It also does not really help if the metafile contains only bitmap drawing records.

If the requestedSize is very large, the conversion may omit anti-aliasing.
