Using Using Using Using Using Using Using Using Namespace Public Partial Class

This C# code demonstrates persisting graphics by using a bitmap in memory. When the form loads, it creates a bitmap with the same dimensions as the form's client area. This bitmap is used as the drawing surface. A Graphics object is used to draw to the bitmap. When the form paints, it draws the bitmap to the form. Buttons allow adding text to the bitmap by drawing strings to the Graphics object referencing the bitmap. The bitmap is disposed of when the form closes to free resources.
