DrawImage with Effects does not allow Rect argument about win2d HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi dlr2. Yes, this is by design. Reason being, when you use DrawImage with an effect instead of a bitmap, it's not possible to generally define what the scaling will be. For bitmaps, we know what their bounds are. The scale factor is simple to determine. But effects often have infinite bounds, or bounds that aren't really what you'd expect.

Rest assured, there are many ways to get the behavior you want- like using a ScaleEffect or CropEffect to confine the effect to the correct bounds. It's a lot better for the app to do this, than for Win2D to try and create a scale transform which is invalid or unexpected.

This was also brought up with issue #31, which includes a very detailed explanation.

thanks for the answer...my scaling approach is working but I wanted to know if this was either by design or an oversight.
