where is docs for Drawing Text in winui?

[ghost1372]

i am trying to draw some text with effect like this:

I remember there was a documentation page for it and it had an image with purple text. But now I can't find that page.
so Does anyone know that doc page?

A simple way is to use a TextBlock
and a LinearGradientBrush for the Foreground brush :

i know but i am looking for a way to draw this kind of text on Background, something similar to wpf, which we can use a custom brush in background: _brush = new DrawingBrush

For background, I generally do it with a SwapChain :

But it should be doable with a CompositionEffectBrush

i am trying to make a watermark, wpf was so easy to do this:

Same code with TranslateTransform/RotateTransform (test with GDI+ in WM_PAINT) for a rotated text as watermark :

can you share code?

It is quick draft code atm but it is about the same as the code from Junjie Zhu - MSFT in your thread in MSDN (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1465983/how-to-port-drawingbrush-stuff-from-wpf-to-winui-3)
The only difference is that I draw it in WM_PAINT (SetWindowSubclass, ...) and I added a SwapChainPanel (like in the GitHub sample for transparency) to show the background
But it could be simpler with Composition (although I had tried without Win2D (like in Wice) and failed...)

I finally got what I wanted with Win2D
