目前博客园中成系列的Direct2D的教程有
1、万一的 Direct2D 系列，用的是Delphi 2009
2、zdd的 Direct2D 系列，用的是VS中的C++
3、本文所在的 Direct2D教程 系列，用的是VS2010的Visual Basic语言（可以很方便的转为C#），基于Windows API Code Pack 1.1。
还有官方的说明文档 Direct2D ，用的是C++。

变换几何（TransformedGeometry）的运用
在一些精度要求不高的场景下，为了提高效率，重视元件重用（即一个元件，多次使用）。变换几何（TransformedGeometry）就应运而生，它是把一个源元件通过转换（Transform）得到一个新元件，而不需要重新用大量的代码增加新元件（可以省去很多的关于点的计算）。
和其他的几何对象一样，变换几何（TransformedGeometry）也得通过D2DFactory对象的CreateTransformedGeometry方法来创建，来看看该方法的原型定义
Public Function CreateTransformedGeometry(sourceGeometry As Direct2D1.Geometry, transform As Direct2D1.Matrix3x2F) As Direct2D1.TransformedGeometry
从该函数的原型定义来看，只有两个参数：sourceGeometry，源几何对象，类型是Geometry类；transform，对源几何对象进行的转换，类型是结构Matrix3x2F。
通过该方法获得一个新的几何对象
接下来，我们用一个例子来说明变换几何（TransformedGeometry）的用法
上图是一个简单的图形，分为左山、右山、小河、太阳、太阳光芒这几部分。
我们先用路径几何（PathGeometry）对象创建右山，然后利用CreateTransformedGeometry方法创建了左山，并对它进行了缩放转换（SacleTransform）。
太阳光芒的部分，先用路径几何（PathGeometry）对象创建基本的光芒，然后利用CreateTransformedGeometry方法创建光芒数组，并依次对数组中的光芒进行了旋转转换（RotateTransform）。

通过上面的示例代码说明了变换几何（TransformedGeometry）对象的用法。它实际上是一种元件复用的思路，利用已知的元件，通过转换（Transform）得到一个新的元件，简化绘图的难度。当然，变换几何（TransformedGeometry）对象要想用的好，得和转换（Transform）配合起来才行。
