I want to draw lines (paths) for AI to follow. I need to know the X,Y coordinates of each pixel in the line.Lines drawn straight vertical (0 or 180 Degs), diagonal (45 or 225 Degs), or horizontal (90 or 270 Degs) are easy to map.I need to know how to map straight lines that are not one of the those three. Like 1 degree to 44 degrees, 46 degrees to 89 degrees, and so on...
View 1 RepliesI am writing some text in a control using Graphics.DrawString I need to measure the width of the drawn text in pixel.
I tried to mesure it using:
Graphics.MesureString
TextRenderer.MesureText
GetTextExtentPoint32A (API)
All these method of mesuring the string returns different values for the width, and they are all the wrong value They all mesure the narrow caracteres as "i" as being narrower then they realy are and the wide caractere as "W" as wider than they realy are What would the proper way to draw and/or mesure a string to get the right position on the screen where the text ends
Hi, I'm using the Drawline method by capturing coordinates entered into 4 textboxes and then printing the image onto a picturebox. However, I can't get the previous line to be redrawn along with the new line that needs to be drawn. I understand that it refreshes when using the picturebox.refresh() function.
The code is:Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code]...
I am using this code to draw a line on a form using textboxes as the x and y coordinates. I then click the button with the code below that will draw the line.
Before the new line is drawn, I would like to have previous lines deleted first.
How can I delete these lines?

I'm creating a type of drawing program. The user can draw a line, much like in word or paint, etc. But once the line is drawn (to a picturebox or bitmap in memory), I want the user to be able to click on the line and drag it around (translate it).
If I know the coordinates of the endpoints of the line, as well as the pen width it was drawn with, how can I tell if a certain coordinate (mouse location) is contained by the line?
My first thought was to take a mathematical approach, like get an equation for a line, and check to see if the coordinate belonged to it. But for a higher pen width, the line is thicker, and thus contains more points.
How can I tell what coordinates are part of the line? Is there some sort of intersect function in the gdi that takes a line?
Currently I have not found a way to generate an event when a user clicks on a line that is drawn in my workspace area. The line that is drawn is created by calling the function e.Graphics.Drawline(Connector,X1,Y1,X2,Y2), where Connector is a System.Drawing.Pen object and X1,Y1,X2,Y2 are integer coordinates of the two points to draw the line between. I have not found any events such as Click that are associated with the line that I can use. Do I need to create a custom event for these lines if so how do I go about this?

My code above will draw the line but i can not see how to use path to get a "hit" on mouse move for the line?I use private routines to draw many panels and assign pens to colors and panels. I must be able to connect panel and line ID to pen name to know the nature of the line to label it! I can see that path must be used; but how?

View 1 RepliesI need to draw several line-graphics on a form, then select and drag individual graphics to new locations. Is it possible for example to give each graphic path an identity when drawn, then select any one (via mousedown, whatever) and link it to the dragged mouse co-ordinates until released? MS Visio has exactly this ability - can it be done in .NET?
View 4 RepliesI would like to load a GIF file, and start with the first pixel and check to see if that pixel color is closer to Black, Red, Green or Yellow, then take what ever color it closest matched to and output that color as a number, 0, 1, 2 or 3. So just for a small example a 5x4 GIF would be converted to something like this: 0112223322220111332?

I support a program that captures a drawings from a digitizer tablet. The tablet functions as sort of a mouse and the user uses a Stylus to draw (sign) their name into documents. An issue that has come up is that the user signs their name but the line that the signature is build with has noticable holes in it. Kind of like having a pen that skips when you write. The information is communicated into a PictureBox using a DrawLine Function where it passes the line color, the previous point and the current point.Kind of stuck with this, not sure why the tablet would produce a spotty signature when the stylus is in contact the whole time with the tablet. I have yet to port out the line x,y points to see if the tablet is producing consistent points but this is the next step.
View 5 RepliesI'm a beginner to VB2010. If I draw a red line on a BLANK form, obviously its red. But if I draw a second red line, which crosses the first, is there a way of controlling the colour at the crossover position, for example returning it to the original colour of the form?
View 4 Replieshow to remove a line?I have:
Dim PenColor As New Pen(Color.Black) and after I received the values I draw the line with:
objGraphics.DrawLine(PenColor, Xstart, Ystart, Xend, Yend)
The user can do this 10 times... (so 10 lines)...But if the user presses a cancel button, the last line drawn shall be removed (and the user can click until he is back at 0)..Would I use PenColor white here (to draw over the line)? Or is there a way to remove line directly in visual basic? I couldn't find it.
I have a AxAcroPDF on a from which i added from the toolbox I can draw on the form using this code
Private m_Drawing As Boolean = False

The AxAcroPDF Control dosnt have the mouseup and mouse down declatations so i am unable to easily adapt the code.
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!)
Is there any way to have 2d graphics that gets made by user through manual dimensions input be bound to a text box?

After running into much difficulty getting started on my little planner attachment, I found this C# program (calendar_src) floating around on the net...somewhere. So I have been working on trying to convert this from C# to VB, which I have been using an online converter. From what I know I have been going through and trying to edit the code after it has been converted to VB code as best as I can. But now I have limited the errors from over 50 to these:
Error1Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'DrawLine' can be called without a narrowing conversion:
'Public Sub DrawLine(pen As System.Drawing.Pen, x1 As Integer, y1 As Integer, x2 As Integer, y2 As Integer)': Argument matching parameter 'y1' narrows from 'Double' to 'Integer'.

Not only this, the VB main Form1 isn't showing the "DayView1" control that the C# one is. When I first created the VB app, I didn't know how to make 2 projects in 1, so it's probably wrong altogether...but I tried. The only reasons I am wanting to go off of someone else's control is because it only lacks 1 feature that I want, and that's having a full month view, not just limited to 1-3-5-7 day views.
