FromBrush(LinearGradientBrush,Nullable<Point>,Nullable<Point>) Method

Returns a Infragistics.Win.DataVisualization.LinearGradientBrush instance initialized from the specified System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush instance.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Shared Function FromBrush( _
   ByVal brush As LinearGradientBrush, _
   Optional ByVal startPoint As Nullable(Of Point), _
   Optional ByVal endPoint As Nullable(Of Point) _
) As LinearGradientBrush

C#

public static LinearGradientBrush FromBrush( 
   LinearGradientBrush brush,
   Nullable<Point> startPoint,
   Nullable<Point> endPoint
)

Parameters

brush

The System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush instance from which to initialize the new Infragistics.Win.DataVisualization.LinearGradientBrush instance

startPoint

The start point for the gradient, or null if the default start point should be used (0, 0).

endPoint

The end point for the gradient, or null if the default end point should be used (1, 0).

Return Value

A Infragistics.Win.DataVisualization.LinearGradientBrush instance.

Remarks

The startPoint and endPoint parameters are necessary because the System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush class does not expose these values as public properties.

In the absence of an explicit setting, the startPoint and endPoint default to the values (0, 0) and (1, 0), respectively, which causes the gradient to progress along the horizontal plane from left to right.

The startPoint and endPoint parameters are used to specify the angle of the gradient. For example, given a startPoint of (0, 0) and an endPoint of (1, 1), the resulting angle is 45 degrees, producing a gradient which progresses in the forward diagonal direction.
