Graphics Programming with GDI+ describes the use of the .NET Graphics object to display, control and manipulate text, points, lines, shapes, bitmaps and metafiles. It also describes the use of the various coordinate and matrix systems used in transformations of two dimensional graphic objects within the framework.

This book is both an excellent reference and a wonderful tutorial for beginning through intermediate programmers using the .NET environment. Unlike many introductory books, the book is focused on the graphical display of programmatic information in many forms including text, shapes, bitmaps and metafiles from display devices to printers.

This book provides a solid foundation for understanding the conceptual workings of the coordinate systems used, the tools of pens and brushes, the areas of regions and boundaries while providing clear and concise code samples showing how to use them for effective communication through graphical presentation.

I found Chand's book well conceived and clearly written. It belongs in every programmer's reference library that uses the .NET framework.
