Plotting Graphics And Output To Image File?
Feb 23, 2009
I am a total beginner to software development, I have purchased a copy of Visual Studio 2008 and have been working through a self teach book on Visual Basic.NET. I have some ideas for applications that I want to develop and am in need of some pointers.
I want to plot graphical objects and standard lines and rectangles based on coordinate data that I have imported into an array from a tab delimited text file. I have some bitmap symbols that I have created and I want to plot these in my programme along with some labels and save the output as a bitmap file or other suitable image file.
I am having trouble finding any help in the online documentation and want know where I need to start. Do I plot the graphics directly onto a form or do I need to add them to a picture box? When I get this far how to I create the image file?

I have a visual basic .NET application that starts up a command prompt window using the following method:[code]The bat file then goes on to start up an application, which has a lot of output to the command prompt.I was wondering if there was any way to pipe the output of the bat file to a visual basic control. I am trying not to modify the bat file, if I can help it.

I load my picturebox with a jpeg. If I put my DrawObjects() sub into picturebox paint event.When ever a picturebox.refresh or picturebox.visible = true (vb.net seems to draw my DrawObjects() first, then load the jpeg Image over my drawing - erasing drawing) Is there a way to get the picturebox to redraw the jpg image first then draw on it, in picturebox paint event?

I'm writing a VB2005 program (for WinXP) to implement a lighting show and need to clarify a few things before I buy a video projector.My PC has 2 Geforce 8800GTS cards. One will feed a standard monitor (housing the program control interface) and the other will feed the video projector doing the lighting show.My prog uses GDI DrawString to output text to the video projector.In the prog I want the output of Form1 (control interface) to ALWAYS go to the Monitor (through the primary display adapter) and the output of Form2 (GDI text strings) to go to the video projector (through the secondary display adapter).Can I assign a FORM to a specific Display Adapter or Monitor/Projector so that all output from that form will automatically go to that adapter (monitor/video projector)?If not, what is the best way to do it? Perhaps something like the following? Frankly I have no idea whether this is even remotely correct or whether there is a better way. [code] If the above is correct, will it work for a video projector as well (i.e. is a porojector also set to a specific resolution/bounds and is that resolution/bounds used as its size, as with a monitor?

I am trying to write a program in VB2008 Express. I originally wrote it in excel, but I want to add some features and make it a standalone executable. the program is ideal for a spreadsheet application though.
essentially, there are two input tables. each containing about 6 columns and maybe 10 rows. I assume that could be handled by arrays. the output would be a continuously updated table of output based on calculations using the data from the two input tables. the output table would be about 4 columns by up to 1000+ rows, and would need to be recalculated and displayed each time any data in the input tables has changed.
first, are arrays sufficient to handle this? would databases be more appropriate?
second, what's the best way to display a long list of output, that has a user defined length and is continually updated. it would also be nice to have the ability to click on an individual cell (or value) in the output and have more code executed.
is there a way to incorporate a spreadsheet like tool for this as a backend? I want to make sure i'm using the most efficient approach before i invest too much time.

I am re-writing my old VB6 DXF viewer control in VB.NET Winforms. Attached is a picture of my testbed app. As we only need it to check parts that have been created to generate gcode for our laser it is limited to Points, Lines, Arcs, And Circles. It has Point, EndPoint, Centers, and Intersections snaps for all entities and combinations of entities. Measured output is displayed as Actual Point to Point plus Horizontal and vertical delta. Zoom Extents, Zoom Window, Pan and Mouse Wheel Zoom are fully functional. The last took a while to develop as I wanted the Zoom to be centered about the cursor position just as it is in Acad.

I'm a VB beginner.I've been playing with Graphics.DrawString by watermarking a picture with a text string. The picture below to the left comes from PictureBox with a text string drawn with Graphics.DrawString. The font style used is Arial 48 points, regular, I think. The picture in PictureBox shows just as I configure. Great... The resolution of the original Terri Hatcher picture is 300 dpi (300 x 300). Exporting this picture with Graphics.DrawString, I get the picture below to the right. The text string appears a lot bigger than previously shown in PictureBox. It turns out that the text size varies, depending on the resolution of the original picture. That's kind of odd. I develop several graphics applications in a different environment and have never seen this sort of graphics.drawstring thing. Anyway,
my sample application seems to draw a text string at an image resolution of

I have a very annoying problem, I am trying to draw an image with the Graphics class but when I do DrawImage, it automatically scales it up! heres some example code
graphics.DrawImage(My.Resources.TestImage, 20, 20)
PictureBox1.Image = My.Resources.TestImage
The picture box image is the correct size whereas the graphics drawn verison is too big!

I made a program that uses the graphics object to draw on a picture box. I used the graphics.fromhwnd(picbox) to draw on the control. The problem is if I minimize the window the drawing disapears. Might there be a way I can the image from the picbox and save it to a bitmap variable ?

I designed an interface which calls an executable program written in c. This program needs an input image and outputs another image which has the name: "<the same as the input one>_out". My interface has to display both images (input in picturebox1 and output in picturebox2), I've done so for the input image but now I need to get the path for the output one to display it. I know that there are functions like My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo() or My.Computer.FileSystem.FindInFiles() but I think they're useless for me, do you think so? Do you know any methods or functions to get the path of my output file? Is it possible?

I am creating an application where when I click on an image I need to mark the place using the x and y co-ordinates given by the click and then after marking I put a red dot/circle on that spot and then I need to save this image to a file including the dot/circle I marked. I have tried saving the image to the file but to no avail, I have been able to only save the PictureBox image and that doesn't include the graphics. It is only the base image. I have tried to save it as a bitmap but have not gotten anywhere with that either. It seems whenever I call the image.save it takes only the value of the underlying image and saves it.
Private Sub BtnCreate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnCreate.Click

I am building a program which offers solutions to the travelling salesman problem (finding shortest tour between a set of cities while visiting each only once).
My program loads a bitmap image of a map into a picture box. From there, graphics which point out the cities as well as tour paths are drawn onto the map. My problem is that when the option to plot ALL cities is enacted, the user may choose to pinpoint a specific city with a separate control. When the user erases that pinpoint via an invalidation routine, though, it erases all graphics beneath it, which is undesirable. How can I make my tour graphics and city plots semi-permanent by drawing them directly on the image? I tried drawing them on a separate bitmap, but it 'covered up' the map image.

When working with small images, the graphics interpolation does bad work.the result image in the following code does ignore second half of image to draw.Draw something on the image by using loadimage from JPG or whatever you want.
Dim GrayImage as system.drawing.Bitmap(640,480)
Dim bmTmp As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(GrayImage.Width, 1)
Using gr As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bmTmp)[code]....
The second half vertical is not drawn by using the DrawImage methode. I want to have the image as result as you see on first picture. Stretched image with source on whole content.

I have an application that downloads a .jpg snapshot from an IP camera, writes it to the server hard drive, attaches it to an email and sends it out to my users. Pretty simple until one guy had to mount his camera upside down and that's how he received the image via email.
It gets a bit annoying after a while, so he asked me if I could rotate it 180 degrees before attaching it to the email. I have absolutely no idea - hence my post. The app is on a hosted ASP.Net v3.5 web server.

I am using VB.NET to try and capture a portion of the screen so I found this code in several places to capture the whole screen:
Dim screenSize = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize
Dim bitmap = New Bitmap(screenSize.Width, screenSize.Height)
Using g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap)
g.CopyFromScreen(New Point(0, 0), New Point(0, 0), screenSize)
End Using
bitmap.Save("c:scratchscreenshot.png", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
This works with no error throw and the file is created successfully but the resulting image is completely transparent (it is the correct size) - This question relates to the same error but the solution is to use Win32 GDI which I want to avoid if possible
