```kotlin
@Composable
fun painterResource(@DrawableRes id: Int): Painter
```


Create a `Painter` from an Android resource id. This can load either an instance of
`BitmapPainter` or `VectorPainter` for `ImageBitmap` based assets or vector based assets
respectively. The resources with the given id must point to either fully rasterized images (ex.
PNG or JPG files) or VectorDrawable xml assets. API based xml Drawables are not supported here.




Alternative Drawable implementations can be used with compose by calling `drawIntoCanvas` and
drawing with the Android framework canvas provided through `nativeCanvas`
