Graphics Device Interface (GDI) Component Overview
The GDI component provides abstract base classes that represent the graphics device and the context through which graphics and text can be drawn to it. The context maintains 'settings', such as the pen and brush colors and styles in use, and provides a rich API of drawing commands for creating graphical and textual output. The component also provides abstract device-independent APIs for a variety of graphics-related functions, such as for handling fonts, pictures and printers.
