Understanding Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.SingleBitPerPixel

[Just Me]

PictureControl1 is basicly a PictureBox and g is a Graphics object for the
Picturebox.

For large fonts (33) it works OK. For smaler fonts (10) there are touches of
red around the letters.

Maybe antialiasing is doing it.

I tried Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.SingleBitPerPixel

Gets rid of the red.

Does that turn off antialiasing?

The text does not look good with SingleBitPerPixel

Anyway better way I can get rid if that extra color?



Thanks

g.Clear(Color.Red)

g.TranslateTransform(PictureControl1.PicWidth / 3, PictureControl1.PicHeight
/ 3)

g.RotateTransform(45)

g.DrawString("Test", New Font("Arial", 10), Brushes.Yellow, 0, 0)

PictureControl1.PicMakeTransparent(Color.Red)

Play around with your 'Graphics' object's 'SmoothingMode' property.

I did and it looks like SingleBitPerPixel means: Do not use antialiasing.
But looks can be deceiving and I was looking for confirmation.

Thanks

PS I notriced I had SingleBitPerPixel in the subject but not in the body -
I should have included it in the body.
