Combining Images Into A Single Graphic Object?
Jul 24, 2010I am attempting to combine multiple bitmap images into a single graphic object using Drawing.Drawing2D command but am noticing the image quality changes.I tried various combination of these ...
g.InterpolationMode = Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic
g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality
g.PixelOffsetMode = Drawing2D.PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality
g.CompositingQuality = Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality
but did not get the "perfect" quality.What I want is one image to be in one region of the graphic object. Another image to be in another region. There is no overlapping of the image regions so essentially I want an source image to be as is in a given region. I noticed an option for "CombineMode" for Drawing2D but cannot figure out if and how to use this to get what I want.
Interface And Graphics :: XNA Graphic With A Graphic?
Jan 14, 2010I'm trying to make a mini map for a 2d space shooter of mine; I've for the math down (I think) for when an item should appear on the mini map, but the problem is the graphic. As it stands, the graphic spills over the edge of the mini map graphic and disappears only when it's fully outside. I need it to crop the image, or at least not show it off the mini map graphic.I thought of using the sourcerect rectangle of the spritebatch.draw, but it seems to me that would only work for the right and bottom section, as I can adjust the size of the rectangle. I haven't tried this yet, but I will soon. Can the location of the source rectangle be changed in relation to the graphic that it is a part of being drawn so that I can use that to crop the left and top sides?

Dec 6, 2010I am using VB 2008 & Access Databases for creating WinForm Applications. Also i am using Crystal Reports for Report solution. my question is How do i created reports such a way that they can be printed in faster Ascii Format on any DotMatrix printer. The default true type fonts make printing very slower.
I tried to use "Draft 10 cpi" font which come to available me after i installed a correct driver for my Epson printer. which also helped me overcome this problem. however it wont be the scenario with all my clients i.e. they might have different printers having different Make with different drivers installed. i have tried to open such project on there PC but the printing wont come in Draft instead the fonts get expanded too much & the print wont come right.
Printing An External File In Its Own Printing Routine
Apr 19, 2010I basically have an application that generates reports in a .html file, I use a .html file for the ease of making tables and formatting text.Now I would like to introduce a way of printing the reports from my program. Because I use a .html file, the formatting would not the correct if I was to print it directly from my application (as far as I know). For this reason, I would like to print it just like my web browser would have in order to keep the tabular data intact and the text formatting.
View 1 RepliesSchedule Printing And Check First If There Is Pending Job Before Printing?
Nov 2, 2009I'm creating an application which has an scheduler to print and it checks if there is a pending job on the print queue before it prints the next file. I use a timer which checks if there is any file to be printed on my database. Example, the timer ticks and selected 10 files to be printed, it should print the 10 files 1 at a time, if there's no print queue, that's the only time the next file should print. I think another timer is required which will keeps on checking if print queue is done. How will i do this?

Declaring A Graphic In VB?
Apr 13, 2010We have a great book written for Visual Basic 2005 that we type code that is prepared in advance. We are using Visual Basic Express 2008 and normally this works really great; type the code run the program and it works, however I am running into a snag.
The textbook shows the following code: IN THE(General) (Declarations)AREA we are told to type the following:
' Create a Graphic object to use with the game's bitmap
Dim myGraphicObject As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics
' Create an empty Bitmap Object

is there a difference between VB 2005 and VB 2008 that would be causing the errors? or am I missing something subtle maybe mistyped?

Creating A Graphic Barrier?
Feb 17, 2011I am working with a graphics program in VB to move an image around the Form. I'm trying to create barriers that cannot be crossed. At first, I tried to represent this with a 2D array, but this proved too complicated. For now, I'm trying to create a series of rectangles. What I want to happen is when the point the image is anchored at intercepts one of these rectangles, it will either be prevented from moving or sent back to where it was directly before the image moved. I know there is an intercept command, but I've been unable to figure out how to use it in this content. The code I have is below.
Public Class Form1
Dim PlayerSprite As Image
Dim BGImage As Image
[code]....
As I said, this is to create a graphic barrier. However, I expect to make a number of these Rectangles?

Make Graphic Persistent In VB And GDI+?
Sep 24, 2010I have a converted VB6 App that would draw irregular shapes on a PictureBox when I click on a button, and these irregular shapes would persist until I either close the App or erased the PictureBox to start the display anew.I converted my App to VB.Net to do the same, i.e. draw on a PictureBox again, but the drawn lines appear briefly and then, at the end of the drawing process, when my App returns control to the Operating System in wait for another event, the graphics disappear as if erased by the App (which I don't do of course).I have created a Graphics Object associated to my Picture Box as:
Dim CurrGraphics as System.Drawing.Graphics
CurrGraphics = PictureOut.CreateGraphics
I then use the DrawPolygon and DrawLine methods to add the irregular shapes I want:
CurrGraphics.DrawPolygon(CurrPen, Pts)
CurrGraphics.DrawLine(CurrPen, Pts(I).X, Pts(I).Y, Pts(I+1).X, Pts(I+1).Y)
where CurrPen is a defined Pen, and Pts is the Points() array with the coordinates of the displayed shape. Several dozens irregular shapes are drawn and then the subroutine stops, and returns to waiting for another request from the user.What could be the prime reason why graphics do not persist in a PictureBox, and are erased immediately after they are created ?
PS: I do not use the PainEvent of the PictureBox PictureOut, as in the example given in the VB documentation (below), as the display process is initiated by clicking on a button, and I cannot relate how to transfer control to the PaintEvent as below:
Private Sub Form1_Paint(sender As Object, pe As PaintEventArgs) Handles _
MyBase.Paint

Calculate Angle Into A Visual Graphic?
Oct 28, 2011Ok. So I have a program I have made to calculate angles. i have a line for true vertical and I need the program to draw the line at a given angle. Basically, if I put 82 in textbox1, I want the program to calculate the cordinates where that line sits on the X axis, The y axis is always picturebox1.height, So the y axis isn't important here, just the x axis.
What would I do to calculate this angle into a visual graphic?

Graphic Visualizer For System Audio
Feb 19, 2010I'm working on a side project which, put simply, allows for the playing of audio files of multiple types through the form or system (My.Computer.Audio.[...]). I need to grab the audio levels of sound currently playing on the system -- not necessarily what's just playing through my form.
A "full-audio graphic visualizer" if you will. However I just need a method of grabbing the data in the first place - the rest I have taken care of. The different values you see in a graphic equalizer are what I need to grab.
If you had music playing via Songbird, and started playing a podcast voice MP3 in Windows Media Player, I want to have it all-inclusive. I've looked in the My.Computer.Audio namespace, looked into Fast Fourier Transforms (which turned out to seem much more adequate for equalizers as opposed to visualizers), and more.
