View 6 RepliesInterface And Graphics :: Best Way To Make A 'tile Selector' Box?
Jan 16, 2011So now I will try to make something more complex, still playing around with this graphics thing.I want a picturebox to display a tileset (a bunch of 32x32 tiles normally used for creating game levels etc), the picturebox is inside a container (which has autoscroll ON). The picturebox is larger than the container, so the container will make scrollbars automatically.Now, I need to be able to choose a tile or multiple tiles (if I click & drag the mouse)Basically I want to draw a 32x32 "red" box over each selected tile (so the user knows what tiles are selected).So first of all, I need to know when the mouse clicks the picture. Good. It works.Now, I need to know which 32x32 tile was clicked. Well, I think I can calculate that just fine.BUT, what if the user drags the mouse while clicking on a tile? I want to support multiple tiles selected, but I am clueless about tracking what tiles were chosen.If we solve that problem, I would have another curiosity: You know the "red boxes" that tell you which tiles are selected? What would happen if I dragged the scroll bar? I need the redboxes to move along with the picture, and hide if they go to an invisible area.

View 4 RepliesInterface And Graphics :: Make A Thumbnail From An Image?
Jul 11, 2004I am trying to incorporate in my vbdotnet application a form in which I would like to make a thumbnail from an image. So what I have is two picture boxes, one with the source image and the other with the destination image, I would like to crop the image from picture box 1 and display it on picture box 2, but the way I wan to crop it is not giving the coordinates of the selected area box but to simulate a selection area box in which the mouse can move the box and select the area of the picture to be cropped. This selection area box would give me the coordinates i need in order to proceed the cropping. The problem is I don't know how to create this selection area box. It is like doing the cropping on a graphic design software like Macromedia Fireworks, Adobe photoshop, even paint.

View 7 RepliesRendering Graphics Efficiently - DirectX - Graphics Card And Use Of DirectDraw Or OpenGL
Sep 23, 2011We have a GIS application that has some performance issues. It creates and sends an image to a web browser. We start with a Bing Maps imager, add complex polygons (complete with transparent fill), save the finished image as a PNG, and send it to the browser.
The idea has come up that we could possibly install a graphics card and use DirectX or OpenGL to improve performance. I believe this would be the case even though we ultimately generate an image instead of sending the data the the screen. I believe our processes could still make use of the API and the hardware acceleration it provides. Our process is not unlike what CGI film makers do to render individuals frames of a film, though we simply render a single image and send it, as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of images needed for a single CGI film.
So my question is: would a powerful graphics card and use of DirectDraw or OpenGL provide us a worthwhile performance boost? It can take us 20-30 seconds to render a more complex map. Which is a long time to wait on a web page...

Interface And Graphics :: Passing Bitmaps & Graphics To Subroutines As Arguments
Jan 22, 2011I 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.

BUT! now heres the issue im having.i cant get rid the previous lines.i did a bit of good old "Google'ing" and ran across a few links that all pointed me to the ReDrawWindow API, so i tried (as you can see in the above code) but i just cant seem to get it worked out.
Interface And Graphics :: Draw On Tabpage's Graphics?
Jan 19, 2011So 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.

View 15 Replies"Dim Temp As Graphics = E.graphics/
Oct 20, 2011My application is all centered around one form with lots of graphics drawings on it.All these drawings take place from within a paint event handler. However, the amount of code within that sub is becomming unwieldy.I have been trying to move sonme of it to another class and use the "dim temp as Graphics = e.graphics" construction to continue to draw graphics. However, I get all kind of argument exception runtime arreors when doing so (and I do not get these with the same graphics operations directly from the original paint event handler. I have also tried to pass on the original e argument, but with the same result.Is my conclusion that there is no solution to this so to continue with the unwieldy amount of code,correct, or am I mistaken somewhere. the "dim temp as graphics = e graphics" is recommended.

While I was trying to find out what the problem was, I realized that the processor load was about 50% and my graphics card was not used at all. So doesn't Visual Basic use the Graphics Accelerator to process graphics? What I made is not a real program. It's like an experiment (I tried to make an image flip). Here is the Code:
