Rotated Text In GDI+?
Oct 5, 2005
I've been looking for a simple example to print rotated text, without having to create paths and such, just by applying a temporary transformation to the page. My simple example would be to print "Rotated Text" in a circle patern with the bottom-left corner of the "R" being the anchor point around which the text rotates, something like:
Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _ System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint Dim poMatrix As System.Drawing.Drawing2D.Matrix Dim poState As System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsState Dim pfAngle As Single Dim piX As Integer 'x/y position to print Dim piY As Integer Dim poG As Graphics piX = 200

I'm using some code to enable me to render rotated text with the TextRenderer.DrawText method. (By default, DrawText can only copy a straight forward x and y transform from a graphics object).
The code (C#) is from: connect.microsoft.com. See below for a VB conversion.The code takes a graphics object, creates a device context and copies the transform matrix from the graphics object. It works, but I'd like, also, to set the TextRenderingHint, so I tried:
<DllImport("gdiplus.dll", CharSet:=CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError:=True, ExactSpelling:=True)> _
Public Shared Function GdipSetTextRenderingHint(ByVal graphics As HandleRef, ByVal textRenderingHint As System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint) As Integer End Function And then after the SetClip statement, I place: GdipSetTextRenderingHint(hDC, someHint) This gives me a memory access violation error, so I think I should be using something other than hDC as the argument.
I can get it to work by creating the device context from the original graphics object, and then creating another graphics object from the device context. I then set the hint on the new graphics object. This seems a bit convoluted so I was wondering if it was possible through interop.

i'm working on a simple 2d drawing application that allows you to draw, move, rotate and resize shapes such as lines, rectangles, ellipses, polygons and so on. My code for resizing shapes works fine, but only for unrotated shapes. Now i've changed the code to work also with rotation but i have still some problems, for example:
I create a rectangle at a specified location (the upper-left corner of the rectangle) and with a rotation around the location. With my code i can only to resize this shape using the top-left, the middle-right, the bottom-right and the bottom-center hot spots. The problem is when i try to resize the rectangle using the middle left hot spot or the other ones. As you can see in this images the problem is to calculate the new location that the rectangle should have after the resize operation.

I'm trying to rotate a mirror, which I represented by a line across a specific point. I translated the point of rotation to the center, rotated by an angle indicated in a text box and then translated it back to its original position.
Here is my code :

Dim theta As Single
Private Cntr_X_blu_Mirror As Single = 5

I hope the code is good. The problem I encountered is that the line becomes smaller and smaller as I rotate it. and that's bad! Sometimes it even grows longer [I think when I rotate it in the oposite direction!]
Also, when I rotate it at 90 degrees, the rotation does not resembles a 90 degree rotation. It seems to be inclined at 45 degrees instead!

I have a image with a transparent background. I clone it, rotate it, and save it in a picture box. Works fine (in that I can see the original object overlaid on the background image below it). However, the original unrotated image is also superimposed on the .image layer *with* the rotated one. Try as I can, I can't stop it from appearing.
Curiously enough, if I change the image to non-transparent (a .bmp instead of a .gif, for example), I don't have the problem. Of course, I also can't see the background {:<(

Dim myGraphic As Graphics

I'm making a game that needs to hit test a Rect object inside 4 points that basically forms rotated a rectangle. This means I can't use the Rect class's IntersectsWith function to hit test. So my question is: if I have 4 points that creates an imaginary rectangle of any orientation, how can I tell if another rectangle is inside the "fence" so to speak?

I know that you can pass a Point array to the DrawImage method of the Graphics object to apply rotation, skewing and flipping, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to calculate the rotation. So far I've got:
Dim radius As Integer = Math.Sqrt((rect.Width / 2) ^ 2 + (rect.Height / 2) ^ 2)
Dim dX As Integer = RadToDeg(Math.Cos(DegToRad(angle))) * radius
Dim dY As Integer = RadToDeg(Math.Tan(DegToRad(angle))) * dX
Dim new_upper_left_corner As New Point(rect.X + (rect.Width 2) - dX, rect.Y + (rect.Height 2) - dY)
This is all just off the top of my head so far, I'm not sure if it's right. How do I calculate the other points on the rectangle, and is there a built-in VB.NET method that's much easier? (Apart from Graphics.RotateTransform, which is slow and also rotates around 0,0.)

I'm writing a program that print images in full page. I.E, I print image on A4 paper, landscape. When I print an image without rotating it (the image IS landscape), the image uses all the space of the page, and is not cropped. it is OK. The print job is about 1.5 Mb. When I print an image WITH rotating it (the image IS PORTRAIT ), the image uses all the space of the page, and is not cropped. it is OK. The print job is about 28 Mb. The images are about 2000x3000 pixels, and stored in JPEG files (about 2.5 Mb each). I suppose that the 28 Mb should be the "uncompressed" size of the picture, and 1.5Mb, the compressed size...
By the way, When I look at the task manager, my application memory usage grows by job size, which seems to be OK. It grows either 1,5 Mb if no rotation is occured, and 25-30Mb when rotation occured.
Since I can print hundreds of image at once, my print queue will grow abnormaly if I need to rotate all

lblTotal.Text = Val(Form2.lblPizzaTotal.Text) + Val(Form3.lblDrinksTotal.Text)
The code above is what I am using to add the Value of Label 1 (Pizza Total) and Label 2 (Drinks Total), however it seems that in the final total it doesn't appear to add the value of Label 2.

I'm building a program in which it asks for your name and age and determines a ticket price based upon these details. I want it to show the person's name, then their age, (jump down a line) then their ticket price, and then it jumps down a line to show the next person's name, age and ticket price. Issue is, when it's meant to jump down to show the next person, it just completely deletes the last person's details.I'm using this line of code:
TxtFareShow.Text = (Name & Age & vbCrLf & Price) & vbCrLf
How do I fix this?

I'm Making a Simple syntax highlighter and I'm Doing the highlighting in the text Changed event of a RTB and for obvious reasons I can't re highlight the whole document each time someone presses a key so i highlight one line each time the text changes. But this creates a Problem. If someone pastes code into the RichTextBox It only highlights the last Line. So is there a way to get if the user typed the text in with his keyboard or pasted it from the clipboard in the text Changed event?

I've been looking through the FCL for a method that will allow me to erase a line of text from a text file and replace it with another line of text. Neither the StreamReader nor StreamWriter have a method for replacing or removing Text from a text file, as does the string object. Are there any available methods for erasing just certain lines of text from a file, and then replacing them with others?
In my code, I'd like to locate a certain line in the text file, and then at that point in the text file, use a For...Next Loop to replace each successive line of the text file with new text:
Dim user_data_file As String = "user_data.txt"
edit_input = New StreamReader(user_data_file)
Dim edit_line As String = edit_input.ReadLine
[CODE]...
However, I can't find any methods that will allow me to do this.
