Gets a BrickGraphics object used to draw in the current report.

Public ReadOnly Property Graph As BrickGraphics
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| BrickGraphics |
A BrickGraphics object.
|
This property returns a BrickGraphics instance used to draw a report. Its members define the default settings such as font, fore and background colors, border sides, and alignment for all bricks created using the current BrickGraphics instance.
The following example demonstrates how to write a LinkBase.CreateMarginalHeaderArea event handler. The handler will not work unless you write a LinkBase.CreateDetailArea event handler.
using System.Drawing;
using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
// ...
private void link1_CreateMarginalHeaderArea(object sender, CreateAreaEventArgs e) {
string format = "Page {0} of {1}";
e.Graph.Font = e.Graph.DefaultFont;
e.Graph.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
RectangleF r = new RectangleF(0, 0, 0, e.Graph.Font.Height);
PageInfoBrick brick = e.Graph.DrawPageInfo(PageInfo.NumberOfTotal, format,
Color.Black, r, BorderSide.None);
brick.Alignment = BrickAlignment.Far;
brick.AutoWidth = true;
brick = e.Graph.DrawPageInfo(PageInfo.DateTime, "", Color.Black, r, BorderSide.None);
brick.Alignment = BrickAlignment.Near;
brick.AutoWidth = true;
}
Imports System.Drawing
Imports DevExpress.XtraPrinting
' ...
Private Sub Link1_CreateMarginalHeaderArea(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _
CreateAreaEventArgs) Handles Link1.CreateMarginalHeaderArea
Dim Format As String = "Page {0} of {1}"
e.Graph.Font = e.Graph.DefaultFont
e.Graph.BackColor = Color.Transparent
Dim r As New RectangleF(0, 0, 0, e.Graph.Font.Height)
Dim Brick As PageInfoBrick = e.Graph.DrawPageInfo(PageInfo.NumberOfTotal, Format, _
Color.Black, r, BorderSide.None)
Brick.Alignment = BrickAlignment.Far
Brick.AutoWidth = True
Brick = e.Graph.DrawPageInfo(PageInfo.DateTime, "", Color.Black, r, BorderSide.None)
Brick.Alignment = BrickAlignment.Near
Brick.AutoWidth = True
End Sub
