Remarks

CGLayers can be hardware accelerated and developers are encouraged to use this instead of CGBitmaps for off-screen rendering operations.

To create CGLayers, use the Create(CGContext, CGSize) method.

Once you create a CGLayer, you extract the CGContext instance by accessing the Context property.
