Parameters

bitmapData  IReadWriteBitmapData

The IReadWriteBitmapData instance to draw on.

color  Color32

The color of the rectangle to fill.

rectangle  RectangleF

The rectangle to fill.

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: .

asyncConfig  AsyncConfig  (Optional)

The configuration of the asynchronous operation such as parallelization, cancellation, reporting progress, etc. When Progress is set in this parameter, then this library always passes a DrawingOperation instance to the generic methods of the IAsyncProgress interface. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .

Return Value

Usage Note

When filling a rectangle, the right/bottom values of the coordinates are exclusive, so if the width or height is zero, then nothing is drawn.

This method tries to use a shortcut to fill the rectangle directly, which is faster than creating a Path and adding the rectangle to it. A shortcut is possible when the location and size are integer values, and drawingOptions is and the specified color is opaque, or when drawingOptions specifies that no anti-aliasing and no alpha blending is required, the transformation is the identity matrix, and neither Quantizer nor Ditherer is specified.

In .NET Framework 4.0 and above you can use also the FillRectangleAsync methods.

To finish the operation and to get the exception that occurred during the operation you have to call the EndFillRectangle method.

This method is not a blocking call even if the MaxDegreeOfParallelism property of the asyncConfig parameter is 1.
