Probably a long shot but does anyone have any links or help in regards to GDIPlus?

I am specifically trying to find out what the commands are and their parameters. So far everything seems to point to .Net and I want to avoid that. There is mention of GDIPlus Flat which seems to be the area to aim for but MS apparently are not supporting it

For the predecessor GDI there is a great Win32.hlp file and that's the sort of thing I could do with for GDI Plus

I was going to suggest just read the header file but there are 30 of them so my guess is MSDN is the only place you will find good reference.

Not sure what you mean by dot net, surprisingly all the examples in the above are in C++ not C#. GDI+ is not known for it's speed or quality just it's ease of use so only really suitable for use IMHO with C#.

Thanks Simon
I might just stick with standard GDI if speed and quality are lower in GDI+
The main advantages of Plus though are the extra features like alpha support , Sharpness, brightness/contrast changing, etc..
