Graphics.TranslateTransform Method

Prepends the specified translation to the transformation matrix of this Graphics object.

Overload List

Prepends the specified translation to the transformation matrix of this Graphics object.

[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Sub TranslateTransform(Single, Single)
[C#] public void TranslateTransform(float, float);
[C++] public: void TranslateTransform(float, float);
[JScript] public function TranslateTransform(float, float);

Applies the specified translation to the transformation matrix of this Graphics object in the specified order.

[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Sub TranslateTransform(Single, Single, MatrixOrder)
[C#] public void TranslateTransform(float, float, MatrixOrder);
[C++] public: void TranslateTransform(float, float, MatrixOrder);
[JScript] public function TranslateTransform(float, float, MatrixOrder);

Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:

  • Rotates the world transformation matrix of the Windows form by 30.0F degrees.
  • Translates the world transformation by a vector (100.0F, 0.0F), appending the translation with MatrixOrder.Append.
  • Draws a rotated, translated ellipse with a blue pen.
[Visual Basic, C#] Note   This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of TranslateTransform. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.
[Visual Basic] 
Public Sub TranslateTransformAngleMatrixOrder(e As PaintEventArgs)
' Set world transform of graphics object to rotate.
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(30F)
' Then to translate, appending to world transform.
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(100F, 0F, MatrixOrder.Append)
' Draw rotated, translated ellipse to screen.
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(New Pen(Color.Blue, 3), 0, 0, 200, 80)
End Sub
        
[C#] 
public void TranslateTransformAngleMatrixOrder(PaintEventArgs e)
{
// Set world transform of graphics object to rotate.
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(30.0F);
// Then to translate, appending to world transform.
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(100.0F, 0.0F, MatrixOrder.Append);
// Draw rotated, translated ellipse to screen.
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(new Pen(Color.Blue, 3), 0, 0, 200, 80);
}
