World coordinates are the coordinates used to model a particular graphic world and are the coordinates you pass to methods in the .NET Framework. Page coordinates refer to the coordinate system used by a drawing surface, such as a form or a control. Device coordinates are the coordinates used by the physical device being drawn on, such as a screen or a printer. The [Transform](#transform) property represents the world transformation, which maps world coordinates to page coordinates. Because the matrix returned and by the [Transform](#transform) property is a copy of the geometric transform, you should dispose of the matrix when you no longer need it. ### ![](/files/gN3G3VR5GgQngV3jdnfJ) VisibleClipBounds [RectangleF](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.drawing.rectanglef): Gets the bounding rectangle of the visible clipping region of this [Graphics](/system.drawing.managed/api/system.drawing/system.drawing.graphics.md). ## Methods ### ![](/files/gN3G3VR5GgQngV3jdnfJ) BeginContainer() Saves a graphics container with the current state of this [Graphics](/system.drawing.managed/api/system.drawing/system.drawing.graphics.md) and opens and uses a new graphics container. **Returns:** [GraphicsContainer](/system.drawing.managed/api/system.drawing.drawing2d/system.drawing.drawing2d.graphicscontainer.md).

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.wisej.com/system.drawing.managed/api/system.drawing/system.drawing.graphics.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
