I have a question about drawing lines. Most of the code snippets I've seen approach drawing a line with the mouse down as the startpoint and the mouse up as the endpoint. But I am trying to draw a line by startpoint as
a mouse click and then an endpoint as a mouse click just as you do on a typical cad program.
I have an application which draws a graphicspath in dot style using pen.dashstyle = dot. after all, i need to send the drawing points to another hardware. I have to extract the points out of the drawing in order to send them to hardware. the background of the drawing is totally black and the dots were drawn in yellow color. as an example suppose a simple circle drawn in dots with fixed distance in yellow on a black background. how i can convert this drawing to an array of points()?

dim rect as system.drawing.rectangle
For each point in rect
Debug.print(point.name, point.value)

I have a picture in my picturebox. In that picture, I need to draw a straight line between two points and calculate the length of that line (probably in pixels). Is there any suggestion how to do it?
View 2 RepliesThis is more of a mathematical problem than programming problem.I have created a very basic 3D engine using Visual Basic .Net. It displays lines on the screen with an additional z axis. The engine works, however when part of the line goes below 0 it messes up and starts drawing the line inverted again.
This is how it calculates the points:
y = (point.y / z) + offset.y + camera.y
x = (point.x / z) + offset.x + camera.x
Can anyone work out a way to only draw part of the line when it intersects the z=0 axis?
I have data in data table like below.
I am trying to make graph like below using asp.net chart control (made graph in excel with some test data)
points are X and Y values. lines are linear, exponential, logarithmic and power values.
So how can I make this chart in asp.net (vb.net or c#)?

currently i dont have any code to show but i am curently creating an application on a windows mobile 5 device and wondered how i can plot a route manually....ie what i want to be able to do is use the stylus to touch somewhere on the screen and plot that as point A, then touch the screen somewhere else and plot that as Point B (in some sort of database) so that i can review that route afterwards
View 1 RepliesUsing the attached code, the goal is to draw a series of 1x1 rectangles to produce an image of a line. The image begins okay at point (0,0) but ends up after 5600 passes through the loop at (1884,5273) instead of at (1965, 5244). To prove the scale factor accurate I also use Drawline to draw the entire line with the same scale factor. Drawline ends up at the correct location (1965,5244).
I've manually checked the calculations with the results as noted. I'm at a total loss to understand what's going on.
' Xc = 1965
' Xp = 0
' Yc = 5244

Currently there are functions to draw line or move to points, commonly known as LineTo(x,y) of MoveTo(x,y). I am wondering if there is also a LineTO or MoveTo function(s) for 3D, i.e. LineTo(x,y,z) or MoveTo(x,y,z).
View 1 RepliesA couple of options seem to be available to achieve better accuracy and shorter periods than the Timer control in VB allows, however they too seem to have their own unique drawbacks. I am trying to plot (draw) points that are calculated in my VB application and then represent them in real time with an accuracy of a couple percent. If VB can calculate the points in the microsecond time range, would it be reasonable to hang an external pulse source on a usb port and use the "Datachanged" event to count the pulses that will be summed and used to plot the points?Ultimately, this is a machine control application that requires "reasonably precise" timing - ie. CNC type control. The points are scaled and drawn and then step and direction signals are sent out through another USB port.
View 2 RepliesI need to load and parse a text file and extract data between points on any given line. I can load the file, but it's the parsing that's giving me headaches. e.g. "Phoned Jim and arranged for John to attend site" First I need to search for "Phoned" because the line always starts with that, and then I need to extract "Jim and arranged for John"

I was wondering if anyone could steer me to any good references to using OpenGL in vb.Net? I wanted to try a simple line drawing test to start off with, and came across many old discussions about using CsGl or the Tao Framework. But I could not get CsGL to import into Net2008 (the Add Reference window simply could not see the DLL that was clearly there when using Windows Explorer). And although I could get Tao to import OK, and found portions of one person's project, I figured that somehow the GL window he was referring to had to first be set up as a GL object (new class?).In addition, all the OpenGL books I have looked at only discuss OGL with respect to some version of C.From what I have gathered, you need a connector between vb.Net and the opengl32.dll libraries and that is what CsGL and Tao are about. But the edumucation resources seem very few.

That's vertical and 1 pixel wide. This is for a mulitiprocessor performance monitor.How do I do it....if you tell me which routine to use... I'll take it from there. I don't think the routine is
System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawLine, because it's looks to an external reference like I'm putting random pixels in.If possible I need to put the pixels in by hand. Besides this line of pixeld is another line of pixels for another epoch. They are not related numrically.

View 1 RepliesI'm using vb10.
Is it possible when drawing a line to use a binary pattern? Is there a command for this?
Example:
167 is 1010 0111
Draw a line X32 x Y1 would be: 10100111101001111010011110100111
205 is 1100 1101
Draw a line X32 x Y1 would be : 11001101110011011100110111001101
1's being pixels drawn and 0's not.
I have been working on an angle calculating program. I have incorprated a feature so you can type the angle and the program draw it. I have since added a few new features and updated everything as such. For the life of me I can't figure out why the draw angle has stoped working. let me just paste some code.
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Data
[Code]....
Right, the program isn't so complicated. The important bit is that you type an angle in textbox1 and hit enter. Then what happens is the angle is calculated against a base line (one of the new features is that this base line can be moved from left to right and center.) the problem occurs when you hit enter, the program doesnt actually draw the line for you.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a very simple Silverlight application.I want it to be full-screen, and I want to draw a line onto a Canvas.My problem is that the .Width and .Height of the canvas never seem to have a valid value. The website shows the canvas at 400x300 pixels or so, and when you click on it, it goes into Fullscreen mode.I want to use the Height and Width to find the usable space of the screen. I've tried adding events (thinking that the canvas wasn't yet ready to be used immediate after the full-screen line of code) but the LayoutChanged and Resized events don't seem to yield anything.

View 2 RepliesProblem drawing dotted path lines, with even dots along the path line.I want to draw a path line that can be any shape (square, round, outline etc), and along this path line I want even dots to appear.
I also want to be able to resize the shape (as in the example attached)This is very easy to do using "DrawPath" and defining points for the path and using a pen defined as dots.The problem I have is I want the dots to be evenly placed along the path, on any shape or size I draw.In the example I have created, I create a square with 4 points and draw a dotted path.There are 2 buttons that allows me to resize the square (larger or smaller) this helps show the problem more clearly.
The path starts at the top left corner and finishes back at the top left corner, the dots are evenly placed along the path, except the final dots at the end of the path. (Sometimes the dots are even and other times they are not even).The shapes I want to draw can be any size and any shape, but I have used a square in this example to show the problem I have. point me in the direction I need to go that allows me to draw the dots and give the impression that they are even all along the path, for all shapes and sizes.
In the pictures below if you change the size of the shape, one will have even looking dots, the other will not.

View 2 RepliesI need some code to draw a resizable, draggable rectangular cursor (or selection box) on a picturebox. I found some excellent code (albeit rather old) that does just that, but on a form rather than a picturebox. I have tried converting the code - basically moving things to the picturebox events (Paint, MouseDown, MouseMove etc). It nearly works but leaves a trail behind it when you move or resize the cursor. In other words, the selection rectangle is not being erased before being drawn in the new position.
Is there some fundamental difference between drawing graphics on a form and drawing on a picturebox that would cause this behaviour? Something like, when you invalidate a form and cause a redraw it erases what you did last? If not, then I just need to dig a bit further and work out how the cursor is being erased from the previous position.
Here's the original code that works fine on a form:
Private DragRect As New RectangleF(20, 20, 100, 80)
Private Adornments(7) As RectangleF
Private MouseInRect As Boolean = False
