How to: Draw Text at a Specified Location
When you perform custom drawing, you can draw text in a single horizontal line starting at a specified point. You can draw text in this manner by using the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A overloaded method of the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics class that takes a xref:System.Drawing.Point or xref:System.Drawing.PointF parameter. The xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A method also requires a xref:System.Drawing.Brush and xref:System.Drawing.Font
You can also use the xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A overloaded method of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer that takes a xref:System.Drawing.Point. xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A also requires a xref:System.Drawing.Color and a xref:System.Drawing.Font.
The following illustration shows the output of text drawn at a specified point when you use the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A overloaded method.
