SpriteBatch

The example which draws "GameThumbnail.png".

• "GameThumbnail.png" is copied.
• It pastes into the "Content" project.
• It checks that the asset name is "GameThumbnail".

And coding.

        public Game1()
        {
            graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this);
            Content.RootDirectory = "Content";
        }

        protected override void UnloadContent()

        }

        protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
        {

        }

        protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
        {
            graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue);

            spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteBlendMode.None, SpriteSortMode.Immediate, SaveStateMode.None);
            spriteBatch.Draw(texture, new Vector2(0, 0), Color.White);
            spriteBatch.End();

            base.Draw(gameTime);
        }
    }
}

SpriteBatch can specify and draw the arbitrary domains of Texture for a position, a color, an angle, the rate of expansion reduction, vertical / horizontal reversal, and depth by the overload of a SpriteBatch.Draw method.

Moreover, alpha blend / addition drawing and sorting processing of batching can also be specified by the overload of a SpriteBatch.Begin method.
