Related API Members

The following members accept/return ImageBrick objects:

• BrickGraphics.DrawImage(Image, RectangleF)
• BrickGraphics.DrawImage(Image, RectangleF, BorderSide, Color)

Remarks

ImageBrick is used to draw an image in a document and provides options that define the image settings.

An image can be a bitmap, cursor or metafile and is assigned via the ImageBrick.Image property.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create an ImageBrick using the BrickGraphics.DrawImage method.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
// ...

    VisualBrick visBrick;
    Image img = imageList1.Images[0];   
    BrickGraphics brickGraph = printingSystem1.Graph;

    // Start the report generation.
    printingSystem1.Begin();

    // Create a rectangle.
    RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(new PointF(0, 0), new SizeF(96, 96));

    // Specify a page area.
    brickGraph.Modifier = BrickModifier.Detail;

    // Add an image brick to the report.
    visBrick = brickGraph.DrawImage(img, rect, BorderSide.All, Color.White);

    // Finish the report generation.
    printingSystem1.End();

    // Preview the report.
    printingSystem1.PreviewFormEx.Show();

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraPrinting
' ...

    Dim visBrick As VisualBrick
    Dim img As Image = imageList1.Images(0)
    Dim brickGraph As BrickGraphics = printingSystem1.Graph

    ' Start the report generation.
    printingSystem1.Begin()

    ' Create a rectangle.
    Dim rect As RectangleF = New RectangleF(New PointF(0, 0), New SizeF(96, 96))

    ' Specify a page area.
    brickGraph.Modifier = BrickModifier.Detail

    ' Add an image brick to the report.
    visBrick = brickGraph.DrawImage(img, rect, BorderSide.All, Color.White)

    ' Finish the report generation.
    printingSystem1.End()

    ' Preview the report.
    printingSystem1.PreviewFormEx.Show()
