Moving Win2D over to WindowsAppSdk and WinUI3 is a work in progress, and some features such as CanvasAnimatedControl have partial or no support.
Win2D is an easy-to-use Windows Runtime API for immediate mode 2D graphics rendering with GPU acceleration. It is available to C#, C++ and VB developers writing apps for WinUI3. It utilizes the power of Direct2D, and integrates seamlessly with XAML.
Visit the DirectX Landing Page for more resources for DirectX developers.
To give you a flavor of what the code looks like, here is a snippet of XAML:
xmlns:canvas="using:Microsoft.Graphics.Canvas.UI.Xaml" <Grid> <canvas:CanvasControl Draw="canvasControl_Draw" ClearColor="CornflowerBlue" /> </Grid>
and C#:
void canvasControl_Draw(CanvasControl sender, CanvasDrawEventArgs args) { args.DrawingSession.DrawEllipse(155, 115, 80, 30, Colors.Black, 3); args.DrawingSession.DrawText("Hello, world!", 100, 100, Colors.Yellow); }
or C++/CX:
void MainPage::CanvasControl_Draw(CanvasControl^ sender, CanvasDrawEventArgs^ args) { args->DrawingSession->DrawEllipse(155, 115, 80, 30, Colors::Black, 3); args->DrawingSession->DrawText("Hello, world!", 100, 100, Colors::Yellow); }
or C++/WinRT:
void MainPage::CanvasControl_Draw(CanvasControl const& sender, CanvasDrawEventArgs const& args) { args.DrawingSession().DrawEllipse(155, 115, 80, 30, Colors::Black(), 3); args.DrawingSession().DrawText(L"Hello, world!", 100, 100, Colors::Yellow()); }
or VB:
Sub canvasControl_Draw(sender As CanvasControl, args As CanvasDrawEventArgs) args.DrawingSession.DrawEllipse(155, 115, 80, 30, Colors.Black, 3) args.DrawingSession.DrawText("Hello, world!", 100, 100, Colors.Yellow) End Sub
The documentation explains how to install Visual Studio, add the Win2D NuGet package to your project, and get started using the API.
Building Win2D from sourceLocally built versions of Win2D are marked as prerelease, so you must change the 'Stable Only' setting to 'Include Prerelease' when adding them to your project.
