Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Sub Draw( _
   ByVal renderer As TextRenderer, _
   ByVal originX As System.Single, _
   ByVal originY As System.Single _
)

public void Draw( 
   TextRenderer renderer,
   System.float originX,
   System.float originY
)

Parameters

renderer: Pointer to the set of callback functions used to draw parts of a text string.
originX: The x-coordinate of the layout's left side.
originY: The y-coordinate of the layout's top side.

Return Value

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

To draw text with this method, a textLayout object needs to be created by the application using Factory.CreateTextLayout. After the textLayout object is obtained, the application calls the IDWriteTextLayout::Draw method to draw the text, decorations, and inline objects. The actual drawing is done through the callback interface passed in as the textRenderer argument; there, the corresponding DrawGlyphRun API is called.
