However, not all methods available in the <b>Graphics</b> class are available in C1FlashCanvas. Plus, you may have existing code that draws to a <b>Graphics</b> object and that you do not want to rewrite even if most methods are very similar.</p> <p>In these cases, you can reuse your existing .NET code by sending the drawing commands to a <b>Metafile</b>, then rendering the <b>Metafile</b> into C1FlashCanvas using the DrawImage command. This method allows you to expose any graphics you create as images or as Flash documents.</p> <p>The metafiles could be generated by a reporting engine, drawing or charting program, or any application that can create metafile images.</p> <p>Here is a result of replaying a metafile in Flash document:<br> <img border="0" alt="" src="ImagesExt/image10_2.png" width="436" height="475"></p> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
