Drawing a Simple Sprite

This section demonstrates how the Direct3DX utility library can help you to draw a simple sprite

The following code fragment draws a simple sprite:

    hr = ::D3DXDrawSpriteSimple(
            m_ptex,                     // texture
            m_pd3dDevice,               // 3-D device
            &pointDest,                 // destination point (center)
            (float)m_dwAlpha/255.0f,    // alpha
            m_fScaleCurrent,            // scale
            m_fRotationCurrent,         // rotation
            NULL,                       // offset
            &srcRect                    // src sub rect
            ); 

The preceding code fragment shows how to draw a sprite with the D3DXDrawSpriteSimple function. This function supports scaling, rotation, alpha blending, mirroring, and placement. For a broader range of effects such as shearing and perspective, use the D3DXDrawSpriteTransform function.
