Re: MFC and GDI+

I can't duplicate your problem.

I tried the following in a sample mfc application with printing, printview
classes:

void CgdiplusprintingView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
 CgdiplusprintingDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
 ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
 if (!pDoc)
  return;

 // TODO: add draw code for native data here
 Graphics graphics(pDC->GetSafeHdc());
 Pen greenPen(Color(255, 0, 255, 0));
 SolidBrush solidBrush(Color(255, 0, 0, 255));

 // Draw a line with antialiasing
 graphics.SetSmoothingMode( SmoothingModeAntiAlias );
 // Create a Pen object.
 Pen blackPen(Color(255, 0, 0, 0), 3);

 // Create two Point objects that define the line.
 Point point1(25, 100);
 Point point2(200, 100);

 graphics.DrawLine(&blackPen, point1, point2);

 // Add a rectangle and an ellipse
 graphics.DrawRectangle(&greenPen, Rect(50, 10, 25, 75));
 graphics.DrawEllipse(&greenPen, Rect(100, 10, 25, 75));

 // Add an ellipse (drawn with antialiasing)
 graphics.SetSmoothingMode(SmoothingModeHighQuality);
 graphics.DrawEllipse(&greenPen, Rect(150, 10, 25, 75));

 // Add some text (drawn with antialiasing)
 FontFamily fontFamily(L"Arial");
 Font font(&fontFamily, 24, FontStyleRegular, UnitPixel);

 graphics.SetTextRenderingHint(TextRenderingHintAntiAlias);
 graphics.RotateTransform(30.0f);
 graphics.DrawString(L"Smooth Text", 11, &font,
 PointF(75.0f, 75.0f), &solidBrush);
}

I get exactly what is displayed on my screen and print preview.

If I wanted to get the best quality possible, I would have recorded the
above calls to an enhanced metafile as the enhanced metafile is a vectorized
format that scales to any device.
