Public Class Surface

Name	Description
Surface()	Initializes a new instance of the Surface object with a LayoutHost.

Name	Description
BaseTransform	Gets the transformation matrix of the GcGraphics object when it was passed to the Render(GcGraphics) method. Returns an identity matrix when checked outside of the Render(GcGraphics) method.
BottomLayer	Gets the view that appears below all other views on this Surface.
LayoutHost	Gets the associated LayoutHost object.
Name	Gets or sets the name of the Surface.
Tag	Gets or sets an object that contains arbitrary data associated with this surface.
ThrowIfNotFit	Gets or sets a value indicating whether a LayoutException should be thrown if the width or height of some LayoutRects becomes negative. The default is true.
TopLayer	Gets the view that appears above all other views on this Surface.

Name	Description
CreateView(float, float)	Creates a View object that encapsulates a LayoutView and adds it as the top layer.
CreateView(float, float, Action<GcGraphics, Layer>)	Creates a View object that encapsulates a LayoutView and adds it as the top layer.
GetViews()	Returns the array of views on this Surface.
PerformLayout()	Recalculates the layout of all Visual and Space objects on this Surface.
Render(GcGraphics)	Draws this Surface on a specified GcGraphics object. This method first calls PerformLayout(), if the call succeeds it then draws all layers starting with the bottom layer and going up. For each layer, it draws all visuals from the bottom to the top one, followed by drawing the layer's sub-layers. The process repeats until the topmost visual of the top layer has been drawn.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current Surface.
