First, a set of 0, 1 or more transformations are applied to the information to be written. Second, this transformed information is then written out. This allows origin displacement, scaling and rotation effects to be applied singularly or in combination. This is very powerful.  Methods DrawBeziers   Draws a set of bezier curves on the current graphics canvas DrawIcon   Draws an icon onto the graphics canvas FillPolygon   Creates a filled polygon shape defined by an array of points  Properties Clip    Region    Gets or sets a Region object that limits the drawing region of this Graphics object. ClipBounds    RectangleF    Gets a RectangleF structure that bounds the clipping region of this Graphics object. CompositingMode    CompositingMode    Gets a value that specifies how composited images are drawn to this Graphics object. CompositingQuality    CompositingQuality    Gets or sets the rendering quality of composited images drawn to this Graphics object. DpiX    Single    Gets the horizontal resolution of this Graphics object. DpiY    Single    Gets the vertical resolution of this Graphics object. InterpolationMode    InterpolationMode    Gets or sets the interpolation mode associated with this Graphics object. IsClipEmpty    Boolean    Gets a value indicating whether the clipping region of this Graphics object is empty. IsVisibleClipEmpty    Boolean    Gets a value indicating whether the visible clipping region of this Graphics object is empty. PageScale    Single    Gets or sets the scaling between world units and page units for this Graphics object. PageUnit    GraphicsUnit    Gets or sets the unit of measure used for page coordinates in this Graphics object. PixelOffsetMode    PixelOffsetMode    Gets or set a value specifying how pixels are offset during rendering of this Graphics object. RenderingOrigin    Point    Gets or sets the rendering origin of this Graphics object for dithering and for hatch brushes. SmoothingMode    SmoothingMode    Gets or sets the rendering quality for this Graphics object. TextContrast    Integer    Gets or sets the gamma correction value for rendering text. TextRenderingHint    TextRenderingHint    Gets or sets the rendering mode for text associated with this Graphics object. Transform    Matrix    Gets or sets the world transformation for this Graphics object. VisibleClipBounds    RectangleF    Gets or sets the bounding rectangle of the visible clipping region of this Graphics object.  Microsoft MSDN links   System.Drawing System.Drawing.graphics
