Summary

Namespace
Avalonia.Platform
Containing Type
IDrawingContextImpl

Syntax

IDrawingContextLayerImpl CreateLayer(Size size)

Remarks

Depending on the rendering backend used, a layer created via this method may be more performant than a standard render target bitmap. In particular the Direct2D backend has to do a format conversion each time a standard render target bitmap is rendered, but a layer created via this method has no such overhead.

Parameters

Name Type Description
size Size The size of the layer in DIPs.
