Issues with text display with D2D

Dear Support,


I just tried the new D2D rendering system that comes with 5.5.40.0 ...


First great think ... it's easy to switch to :)


However, we feel that text display is worse than the GDI version, particularly the scale bar is nearly undreadable (text is blur)


Did I miss something?


here is my code to display the scale bar:


 



// Set scale bar.



ScaleBarAdornmentLayer scaleLineAdornmentLayer = new ScaleBarAdornmentLayer();


 scaleLineAdornmentLayer.Location = AdornmentLocation.LowerRight;



scaleLineAdornmentLayer.UnitFamily = UnitSystem.Metric;


scaleLineAdornmentLayer.HasMask = true; 

scaleLineAdornmentLayer.MaskBrush =new GeoSolidBrush(GeoColor.FromArgb(150, GeoColor.StandardColors.White));



 scaleLineAdornmentLayer.MaskContour =

new GeoPen(GeoColor.StandardColors.Transparent);


 

scaleLineAdornmentLayer.DisplayUnitString["Meter"] = "m";



 scaleLineAdornmentLayer.DisplayUnitString["Kilometer"] = "km";

 m_MainMap.AdornmentOverlay.Layers.Add("ScaleLineAdornmentLayer", scaleLineAdornmentLayer);

Best regards, Patrick.






 


Hi Patrick,
It can be improved by setting the DrawingQuality of the map, here is the sample:
winformsMap1.DrawingQuality = DrawingQuality.HighQuality;
 
Best Regards,
Johnny
