- 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.
