Public Property IsPixelSnappingEnabled As Boolean

Property Value

true if the composition engine aligns the rendered visual with a pixel boundary; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Examples

public Visual CreateVisualTree(Compositor compositor)
{
    // Say we have two visuals, one containing an image and one containing text.
    // The image can be resampled and still look fine, but the text looks bad if
    // it doesn't land perfectly on pixel boundaries.
    var root = compositor.CreateContainerVisual();

    var imageVisual = compositor.CreateSpriteVisual();
    ImageLoadingHelper(imageVisual);

    var textVisual = compositor.CreateSpriteVisual();
    TextLoadingHelper(textVisual);

    textVisual.Offset = new Vector3(50, 0, 0);
    textVisual.IsPixelSnappingEnabled = true;

    root.Children.Add(imageVisual);
    root.Children.Add(textVisual);

    return root;
}

Remarks

Pixel snapping lets you request that the composition engine adjust the position of a visual tree slightly at render time so that its origin aligns perfectly with a pixel boundary. This sacrifices positional accuracy in exchange for reduced sampling artifacts for textures.
