How could I create a bitmap which is initially completely transparent. I would then like to do some drawing to it, like g.drawImage() and then I would like to save it as a png. How could I do this?
View 1 RepliesI encounter a problem when I try to save a graphic. Drawing and displaying the graphic is no problem, but when I try to save it on file it always results in an empty image.
My code so far is:
Initialization:

The aim of my program is to load a picture into an pic box, then to be able to place multiple shapes on the picture in the pic box by clicking on the location where i want the shape. The type of shape will depend on the radio button which has been selected. Basically all i want is choice of X or O. (its not tic tac toe either At the end of it all i want to be able to save the image WITH the shapes on it, doesnt matter what format its in (gif, jpg, bmp) as long as it has color and i can see the original image with the shapes included.
I have made several attempts at this, and this is what i have so far. (I am brand new to VB and programming so i need all the help i can get) I have hit a wall with how far previous examples can get me.

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

Say I have 3 Buttons, labelled: Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 3. When I click on any button I want a drawing of that unit to appear on screen at a pre-specified starting point. Thereafter when I press any other one of the buttons the unit drawings appear alongside each other in a line. So I could end up with:

I have made an application that can render and save a given element.

This works great except I have to specify which element I want, and I essentially want all of them. Is there some sort of for each that could iterate through all the possible elements?
(Edit: to clarify, my main goal is concurrency, but not necessarily for multi-core machines)
I'm fairly new to all concepts on concurrency, but I figured out I needed to have parallel drawing routines, for a number of reasons:
I wanted to draw different portions of a graphic separatedly (background refreshed less often than foreground, kept on a buffer). I wanted control about priority (More priority to UI responsiveness than drawing a complex graph). I wanted to have per-frame drawing calculations multithreaded. I wanted to offer cancelling for complex on-buffer drawing routines.
However, being such a beginner, my code soon looked like a mess and refactoring or bug-fixing became so awkward that I decided I need to play more with it before doing anything serious.
So, I'd like to know how to make clean, easy to mantain .NET multithreaded code that makes sense when I look at it after waking up the next day. The bigest issue I had was structuring the application so all parts talk to each other in a smart (as opposed to awkward and hacky) way.
I have a preference for sources that I can digest in my free time (e.g., not a 500+ pages treatise on concurrency) and for C#/VB.NET, up to the latest version (since I see there have been advances). Basically I want something straight to the point so I can get started by playing with the concepts on my toy projects.

I am writing an application that is talking to a PMAC card control servo motors. The motors run in an x,y plane where 0,0 is lower left. I would like to be able to draw what I am about to send the card on the screen. All I have are lines and arcs. I have had no luck getting the top left origin to change, or my arcs to draw correctly. Is there any libraries out there that would help with what I want to do.

what i'm trying to do is make sort of a picturebox game. I have a picturebox name p1 that i got to move with the arrow keys on the keyboard. What I was tryna do next was to have it so that whenever I pressed the spacebar on that a new picturebox would be created, originate from p1's location and then go up 5 pixels at a time. so here's my code that i tried;
Dim Loc As Point
Dim shot2 As New PictureBox
If e.KeyCode = Windows.Forms.Keys.Space Then
shot2.Visible = True

I have that under the keydown event by the way. So even thou vb didnt have conflicts with my code. But when I press the spacebar nothing happens.

In a simple hang man game I am I have a a method called wrong(). In this method I increase an integer variable (wrongGuesses) by one and Panel1 is refreshed. Panel1 is the control that I am drawing the actual hangman on and in its paint event I'm using a Select Case structure to draw each part. Here is my code for the wrong() method and the Panel1 paint event.
The problem I'm having is that every time Panel1 is refreshed everything is erased and and the paint event only draws a single part (head, body, left arm, etc). I realize I could redraw the entire stick man every time, but that seems inefficient. Also, I realize that I could Invalidate() each part of the stick man and then Update(), but that I was hoping for a simpler method.
