'Declaration
Public Sub SetBitmap( _
ByVal pBitmap As Bitmap _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As FillEffect
Dim pBitmap As Bitmap
instance.SetBitmap(pBitmap)
Parameters
pBitmap
A Bitmap object containing the texture image
Remarks
Use this function if you want to apply an image fill effect. The function will
change the Type of the FillEffectBase to FillEffectType.Image. It will also
replace the current FillEffectMapping object with a texture mapper with stretched
layout type and object linear map mode. For more information see the topics under
the "Fill Effects" book in the Users Guide.
Example
The following example applies an image extracted from resources to the chart
background:
'load a texture for the background
Dim rm As ResourceManager = New ResourceManager("SomeAssembly.AssemblyResources",GetType().Assembly)
Dim mapping As FillEffectMapping = New FillEffectMapping()
mapping.TextureMapLayout = MapLay.Tiled
Dim bitmapTexture As Bitmap = CType((rm.GetObject("ImageNameInResources")), System.Drawing.Bitmap)
ChartControl1.Background.FillEffect.SetBitmap(bitmapTexture)
ChartControl1.Background.FillEffect.Mapping = mapping
//load a texture for the background
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("SomeAssembly.AssemblyResources", GetType().Assembly);
FillEffectMapping mapping = new FillEffectMapping();
mapping.TextureMapLayout = MapLayout.Tiled;
Bitmap bitmapTexture = (System.Drawing.Bitmap)(rm.GetObject("ImageNameInResources"));
ChartControl1.Background.FillEffect.SetBitmap(bitmapTexture);
ChartControl1.Background.FillEffect.Mapping = mapping;
