Interface And Graphics/whats The Difference Between Drawline And Draw Path
Oct 13, 2008
Is there any way to have 2d graphics that gets made by user through manual dimensions input be bound to a text box?
Is there any way to take position 1000,600 and make that zero? Can we make graphics by inputting only the next co-ordinate and have the pc automatically draw a line from last point?
Also, whats the difference between drawline and draw path? How can I get the shape to remain on screen when I toggle between pages?

So I decided to make my famous tile selector project, but instead of drawing in a form's graphics, do it inside a tabpage.Well, I managed to get it working, but it seems to... flicker.Normally, setting the form's DoubleBuffered property to True would help a lot there, but apparently, the tabpage has no such property.
When I invalidate the tabpage, I draw two images and fill one rectangle.Following past advice, those two images were created before, just once, and are stored in a variable so I don't create them every time I invalidate the tabpage.

Problem 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.

I've been having some trouble with a draw subroutine in a project I'm working on. The last time I did anything like this in VB, drawing on a form was as simple as calling the Line() function, so I'm not clear on a lot of these things. Here's my code:
Code:
Private Sub drawBox(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles btnDraw.Click
Dim blueBrush As New SolidBrush(Color.Blue)
Dim i, j As Integer
[code]....
The code is just meant to draw a grid of small squares across the form, using the centers() array, which is set up elsewhere. My problem is that I can't figure out how to call this sub. If I use Handles Button.Click or Mouse.Move or something like that, VB returns an error saying that Draw and Mouse functions are incompatible. I can't call it normally, because I don't have values for sender and e.

I am really exhausted because I have been trying to find a way to draw 3D sphere which is spinning and have done nothing yet.. I am using visual basic studio. Part of my project is to draw solar system which includes a star and planets rounding about it and their stem. I want to create a class that create a planet with draw function and delete function to create movement.
I have really try to find something in the network but do nothing at all. First, I have read about XNA, but the tutorials seems to be quite complicated - after all, XNA is used for creating games, I need something more simple. I decided to use the directx libraries, read a lot about them but succeed only in draw rectangle (2D).

I am trying to draw a circle on the visual basic console. I have been told that the console is not made for this but i have to use it.
What I want to do is a circle with:
Centre (40,20)
Radius = 10
I know from basic trig that the following will give me the points on the circle:
x= (10 x CosA)+40
y=(10 x SinA) +20
(A) being an angle in radians.
Then combine x & y that will give me a point on the circle.
I want to use the '' Sets the cursor position
Console.SetCursorPosition(x, y)
Console.Write(".") "
To print a point(.) on the given position from the formulas above.
Now heres my question how do I get Visual Basic too calculate:
x= (10 x CosA)+40
y=(10 x SinA) +20
360 times i.e 0rad-2Pirad and then pass the x & y [(x,y)] point to my cursor position code so that a '.' is printed at that position. I.e I will end up with a circle made out of 360 '.'
I would asume that a loop is used and also an array to store the 360 Pi values. I'm finding it extremely hard to even get Vb to calculate the Cos of an angle.

I am trying to draw an image from a MS Access database by use of e.Graphics.DrawImage(New Bitmap()). In my database Row 0 Item 1 holds the path to the image I want to draw.
My current code looks like this:
Code:
Private Sub pnlStart2_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As_ System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles pnlStart2.Paint
e.Graphics.DrawImage(New Bitmap(ds.Tables("Track1").Rows(0).Item(1)), 3, 3)
End Sub
When I run my program I get the following message in my code: Illegal characters in path how I can draw the image from the database?

I made a graphics program in VB6... I then wanted to remake it in VB.NET (I believed it would be faster).
To convert it I wrote both the VB6 and VB.NET versions from scratch side by side. What I have found it that the VB6 code is MUCH faster than the VB.NET program... which I can't understand... (Please note that when not rerendering it in VB.NET it is much faster than VB6)
Here is the VB6 code
[CODE]:...............................
How do you do this in VB.NET?
EDIT: Also... why do I have to multiply Me.ClientSize.Width by 3 for it to be the right size... it doesn't seem to add up.
EDIT2: The smaller the radsize the more efficient VB.NET is compared to VB6... so perhaps it has something to do with the setpixel in VB.NET

I have an application that makes a drawing with measurements both horisontal and vertical. I like to get the vertical measurements to be in direction down-up, not up-down direction as StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical does. All the measuretexts are drawn to a graphics path. Because that path includes all measures at different locations I canīt TransformRotate that path, the text should be rotated before it is passed to the graphics path, or ? It would be so nice if it would be a StringFormatFlags.DirectionVerticalUp to handle it.

I am trying to draw a bus route as a simple sequence of lines. Nothing fancy. But instead of lines, I'm getting wedges. Initially I was fine with this, because the wedges sortof look like arrows and always face towards the second point. But now I want to improve the look, and the wedges are becoming a big problem.
My suspicion is some sort of floating-point issue due to the graphics transform (lat/lons are fed in and the transform turns them into x/y on the bitmap [assuming lat/lon is euclidean is accurate enough for my purposes], so the scaling is several orders of magnitude).
Screenshot:
It actually kind of looks like the line was split into two triangles but only one of them was drawn.
Relevant Code (note: drawing is done asynchronously, which is why I'm creating a bitmap):
'-- Creating the transform --'
Dim bitmap = New Bitmap(Math.Max(1, PictureBox1.Width), Math.Max(1, PictureBox1.Height))
Dim g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap)
[Code].....
Using DrawLines instead of DrawLine solves the issue (but why?) Increasing the pen thickness makes the issue go away (but the lines are too thick) Zooming out (increasing lat/lon view window) makes the issue go away, eventually (but I want to zoom in!)

I used to program with Visual Basic 6, so I have alot of old programs that I'm updating, plus I'm learning the new VB2008 methods. I'm writing a program that replaces the old "BitBlit" function which is no longer supported by Visual Basic 2008. It involves three picture boxes, one holds the sprite bitmap, a second holds the mask (silhouette) of the sprite bitmap, and a third has a background image.

I'm working on a design project where I have to use a Graphical User Interface that contains a drag and drop form. It consists of having a window dropped on a wall. Both of them are images to scale. I would like to know what kind of code I would have to use to show the x and y coordinates of one of the points of my window when dragged so when I drop it, I'm dropping in it on the desired coordinate of the wall.

So, basically, I need two instances of that class in my form, right?I manage to initialize two, alright. But, how exactly am I supposed tomanage drawing/graphics etc in a class, and the results to be displayed in my form?

I was wondering if I could elicit some tips on how to procede with an interface design approach.That is. What is a good way to go about establishing a "work area" where one can have multiple "floating forms" in this area.Can you have a form which occupies the entire windows desk top and the other forms "float" in this space? the "floating" forms would need to interact with each other where pressing buttons etc on them would affect other forms on the "workspace") Or what would be a good way to start accomplishing that? Or is there a better way to get the same effect?

I'm trying to make a .dll that contains a lot of basic functionality that a program can use. Currently i am trying to use interfaces to make a lot of this functionallity independend of the program using it but i hit a snag. The Basic idea is that a programmer will create his own object using the interface discribed in my .DLL file. Then implements those functions as he likes. He can then instanciate a controller (found in the same DLL) and sends his custom object implementing the interface to that Controller. The controller can then be started and will take over all the work. I do not know what type of object is send to the controller and idealy i want to program it in such a fashion that i shouldn't care as long as the object send implements that interface.In code I am trying to achieve the following: (quite simplyfied)
.Dll:
Code:
Public Interface MyInterface '<----Decleration of the interfaceFunction GetData() As Integer
Function SetData(Data As Integer)
end interface
[code]....
this propperly. I know that the second i set the interface adaptor in the Controller VS comes nagging that it can not be converted to a "MyInterface" Class. Obviously i am doing something wrong. I can change the datatype that the controller expects to the "MyController" type but that would completely ruin the whole idea of flexibillity. I am hoping someone sees what i am trying to do and can point out where i made the thinking error.

Running VB/Studio? 2010 on XP. I draw on full screen resolution of 1920 wide x 1080 hi.I have set FormBorderStyle to NONE & WindowState to Maximize which seems to be the only way to get rid of the task bar.but w or wout this setting, My graphics draws a full screen twice - mostly repeatably.When I have [code] parameters set to use 9/16th of screen horizontally, the pattern is drawn once the first time I run it and usually once if I hit F5 quickly enough after hitting Alt-F4. But if I wait long enough [a second or 2] after 'Ready' appears at teh lower left of the IDE screen, then it draws the pattern 3 times.for wider patterns, 10/16th, 11/16 up to 16/16, which is 1920 pixels wide, it usually draws the pattern once after I make this parameter change and twice from there on. The 'twice' is repeatable; it 'doing it once' the first time is not a sure thing.
There are more peculiaraities than this, but if we can find causes for what I"ve given you, it might get them all wout making it seem more complicated than it is.I don't think it's in my code; it works - it draws the right thing the right number of times w no compiler errors. But here is the guts of it:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint
e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality
