VB.NET 1.1 Tutorial - GDI+ - Size and SizeF

Size

A Size stores an ordered pair of integers. A Size object differs to a Point in terms of instead of storing x and y coordinates, a Size stores width and height. By default, GDI+ will interpret the values entered as the amount of pixels on screen.

There a two methods of creating a new Size object.

Public Sub New( ByVal width As Integer, ByVal height As Integer )

This method initializes a new instance of the Size class from the specified dimensions.

• width - The width component of the new Size.
• height - The height component of the new Size.

Public Sub New( ByVal pt As Point )

This method initializes a new instance of the Size class from the specified Point object.

SizeF

A SizeF stores an ordered pair of floating-point numbers, typically the width and height of a rectangle. However, unlike the Size structure, there are three methods of creating a new SizeF object.

Public Sub New( ByVal width As Single, ByVal height As Single )

This method initializes a new instance of the SizeF class from the specified dimensions.

• width - The width component of the new Size.
• height - The height component of the new Size.

Public Sub New( ByVal pt As PointF )

This method initializes a new instance of the SizeF class from the specified PointF object.

Public Sub New( ByVal size As SizeF )

This method initializes a new instance of the SizeF class from the specified existing SizeF.
