FromBitmap()	Creates a graphics holder from a bitmap. The graphics and the bitmap are released when the holder is disposed. This should never fail.
FromDC(IntPtr)	Creates a graphics holder from a device context. When the holder is disposed, both graphics and the device context are released (DeleteDC is called on the device context).
FromDevice(MeasurementDevice, string, out MeasurementDevice, out string)	Creates a graphics holder from a printer or screen device contexts, depending on passing parameters. When the holder is disposed, both graphics and the device context are released (DeleteDC is called on the device context). If `printerName` is null or specifies invalid printer name then printer will be autoselected from list of available printers, if no printers are installed then FromScreen() method will be called.
FromGraphics(Graphics)	Creates a graphics holder from a graphics instance. When the holder is disposed, the graphics is left alone (i.e. NOT disposed).
FromScreen()	Creates a graphics holder from screen. If that fails (e.g. on Azure), the graphics is created from a bitmap. When the holder is disposed, both graphics and the bitmap are released.
