       ByVal size As Size _
    ) As Bitmap
    'Usage

    size
    Size of the requested bitmap.

    Return Value

    The function returns a Bitmap object containing the fill effect preview.
    Remarks
    Note that the preview bitmap may actually differ from the visualized fill effect because this function discards material and mapping properties. You can use this function to implement custom fill effect preview in your applications. It is recommended to pass bitmaps with square dimensions in order not to loose quality.
