public class Graphics : Widget
```

Graphics context object for drawing operations

**Remarks:** This class allows you to draw on either a [Bitmap](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.bitmap.md) or a `Drawable` control.

## Constructors

- [Graphics](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.graphics/ctor.md): (3 overloads) Initializes a new instance of the [Graphics](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.graphics.md) class.

## Properties

- [AntiAlias](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.graphics/antialias.md): Gets or sets a value indicating that drawing operations will use anti-aliasing
- [ClipBounds](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.graphics/clipbounds.md): Gets the bounds of the clipping region
- [CurrentTransform](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.graphics/currenttransform.md): Gets a copy of the current transform.
- [DPI](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.graphics/dpi.md): Gets the dots per inch of the current graphics context. Usually 96 for windows and 72 for other systems
- [ImageInterpolation](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.graphics/imageinterpolation.md): Gets or sets the interpolation mode for drawing images
- [IsRetained](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.graphics/isretained.md): Gets a value indicating the graphics sub-system is a retained system (e.g. WPF)
- [PixelOffsetMode](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.graphics/pixeloffsetmode.md): Gets or sets the pixel offset mode for draw operations
- [PixelsPerPoint](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.graphics/pixelsperpoint.md): Gets the scale of points to pixels. Multiply by point value to get pixel size
- [PointsPerPixel](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.graphics/pointsperpixel.md): Gets the scale of points per pixel. Multiply by pixel size to get point value (e.g. to set font size in pixels).
