Re: Drawing Charts with GDI+

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'll take it anyway... ;) I've done some Direct3D, but got stuck with the
initializing... When I was able to init on one card, the other I had to
test failed and when I was setting for the latter, but first didn't work
anymore... you see the point? but I was able to render almost everything I
wanted so it would surely be easier... ;)

so when you can post, go for it... or mail me by reformating my e-mail
address... ;)

thanks a lot...

You can definitely draw on back-buffers. I'm not sure if you can blit the
back buffer to a memeory bitmap although I don't see why not.

Unfortunately I have none of my DirectX samples on this machine and the
earliest I will be aable to look will be Friday.

I think that it would be very much easier to use Direct3D or OpenGL to
do this sort of drawing because the hidden line / surface systems are
built in and the drawing is very much faster.

Is it possible to initialize a non-visible device in OpenGL or Direct3D
and render to a Bitmap (the .Net Object) or can be easily converted to
Bitmap? I know we can render to texture, but is it the same (or almost
the same)?

Would you have some example?

thanks
