C# GDI+ implements rubber band technology

There should be many people looking for information in this area. Take a look at what I have done below. It may be helpful to you. I hope so.

In order to implement the rubber band technology, I used two methods:
The first is to use the ControlPaint.DrawReversibleLine (Point start, Point end, Color BackColor) method. The principle: draw within the specified starting point and end point on the screen. A reversible line with a specified background color. Drawing the same line again reverses the results of the method. Drawing lines using this method is similar to inverting an area of ​​the screen, although it provides better performance for a wider range of colors.
It should be noted that the start point and end point here are relative to the screen, so I use the PointTOScreen(Point p) method to convert.
Unfortunately, when the mouse is dragged, the transformation drawn (that is, a line segment, in my research field, I call the line segment with a line segment a transformation) does not have a line segment. In order to draw the transformation, it can only be achieved by redrawing when the left button is pressed (if you don't need the line to pop, just comment out Invalidate() in the MouseDown() method). Because the background color backColor=(a,r,g,b) is used when using the DrawReversibleLine() method, it can automatically invert the color, and redrawing when the left button is pressed requires the background color. Reverse color reversebackColor=(a', r', g', b'), so how to get the reverse color of the background color? What I used is to subtract the original background color r, g, b from 255, while the transparency remains unchanged, that is, a'=a;r'=255-r;g'=255-g;b'=255-b; Then repaint with the brush defined by this color.

The second method is to directly use the background color to draw the transformation that needs to be erased when the mouse is dragged, and use the current brush to draw a certain transformation. In this way, the transformation lines drawn when the mouse is dragged appear.

The above two methods both use double buffering technology: first create a bitmap bitmap with the same size as the client area, then use the bitmap to create a temporary drawing surface g3, and then draw the transformation on g3, and then Use the form drawing surface g to draw the bits.
　Anti-aliasing technology: Just one sentence g3.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias, but please note that anti-aliasing technology cannot be used when the left button is pressed and the mouse is dragged.
