I'm using vb10.
Is it possible when drawing a line to use a binary pattern? Is there a command for this?
Example:
167 is 1010 0111
Draw a line X32 x Y1 would be: 10100111101001111010011110100111
205 is 1100 1101
Draw a line X32 x Y1 would be : 11001101110011011100110111001101
1's being pixels drawn and 0's not.
I am refining my VS2010 control renderers and I'm working on the TabControl at the moment. If you take a screenshot of the VS2010 IDE and zoom in on the background of the TabControl (where there are no tabs), then you might see that it consists of a pattern of dots with a slightly different color than the surrounding background. I am trying to draw these dots (yes, I'm going for perfection), but I cannot find a brush that allows me to do this.I am pretty sure I'd have to use a HatchBrush with the right HatchStyle, but I cannot find a matching style.Here is a screenshot showing:
1. The VS2010 background I'm trying to draw (higher contrast and brightness otherwise it's hardly visible),
2. The HatchStyle that is closest to this (DottedDiamond)
3. Why this HatchStyle is not correct (it's missing dots where the green dots are, which I photoshopped in).
Now of course I'm going to have to draw the pattern twice (there are two patterns, offset by 1 pixel, with a slightly different color), but the more pressing problem is the green dots seen in the third image. They aren't there with the DottedDiamond style, and no other style (I think I've tried them all, but hey I might have missed some..) produces a better output.
I want to search for a String Pattern in a Binary File (Binary File is not 100% plain text). Here is the pattern:
"**_*_*_*"
or
"111_11_11_112"
This is more of a mathematical problem than programming problem.I have created a very basic 3D engine using Visual Basic .Net. It displays lines on the screen with an additional z axis. The engine works, however when part of the line goes below 0 it messes up and starts drawing the line inverted again.
This is how it calculates the points:
y = (point.y / z) + offset.y + camera.y
x = (point.x / z) + offset.x + camera.x
Can anyone work out a way to only draw part of the line when it intersects the z=0 axis?
I see so many programs take command-line arguments with flags, for example gcc hello.c -o hello. Of course, I can implement that in my application:
Dim args() As String = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
Dim oi As Integer = Array.IndexOf("-o", args)
If oi > -1 AndAlso oi < args.Length Then
CompileTo(args(oi + 1)) 'Or whatever
Else
CompileTo("out.exe") 'Or whatever
End If
But it's ugly and annoying to use, prone to errors, and inefficient. What's the better way that I keep overlooking?
if i use
Dim Gr As Graphics = SomePanel.CreateGraphics()
Gr.Drawline(StartingPoint, EndingPoint)
I want to be able to have a line drawn from point a to b, but be able to rate it 90 degress based on user input so if the user inputs 70 I want it to rotate 30 degree's to simulate a 70 deg relationship to a horizontal line that it touches if that makes any sense. a is starting point b is the user inputs 70 and it draws it at 70 in relationship to the horizontal lineheres the image that i forgot to post above Attached image(s)
I was wondering if anyone could steer me to any good references to using OpenGL in vb.Net? I wanted to try a simple line drawing test to start off with, and came across many old discussions about using CsGl or the Tao Framework. But I could not get CsGL to import into Net2008 (the Add Reference window simply could not see the DLL that was clearly there when using Windows Explorer). And although I could get Tao to import OK, and found portions of one person's project, I figured that somehow the GL window he was referring to had to first be set up as a GL object (new class?).In addition, all the OpenGL books I have looked at only discuss OGL with respect to some version of C.From what I have gathered, you need a connector between vb.Net and the opengl32.dll libraries and that is what CsGL and Tao are about. But the edumucation resources seem very few.

I have a question about drawing lines. Most of the code snippets I've seen approach drawing a line with the mouse down as the startpoint and the mouse up as the endpoint. But I am trying to draw a line by startpoint as
a mouse click and then an endpoint as a mouse click just as you do on a typical cad program.
That's vertical and 1 pixel wide. This is for a mulitiprocessor performance monitor.How do I do it....if you tell me which routine to use... I'll take it from there. I don't think the routine is
System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawLine, because it's looks to an external reference like I'm putting random pixels in.If possible I need to put the pixels in by hand. Besides this line of pixeld is another line of pixels for another epoch. They are not related numrically.
My program is giving the error: "End of statement expected" The red lines are the ones giving errors. I'm trying to draw lines on a picturebox to create a graph

I am doing a project with graph (VB.NET). I am drawing a line handling dynamic property ( opacity changes based on DB value). I don't know how to change the opacity.
View 1 RepliesI have been working on an angle calculating program. I have incorprated a feature so you can type the angle and the program draw it. I have since added a few new features and updated everything as such. For the life of me I can't figure out why the draw angle has stoped working. let me just paste some code.
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Data
[Code]....
Right, the program isn't so complicated. The important bit is that you type an angle in textbox1 and hit enter. Then what happens is the angle is calculated against a base line (one of the new features is that this base line can be moved from left to right and center.) the problem occurs when you hit enter, the program doesnt actually draw the line for you.
I'm writting program in VB 2010, but I have a problem. I want to draw a temporary line on PictureBox control MouseMove event. That works fine but deleting of that line doesn't work. I tried to draw the white line on the same coordinates (PictureBox's background is white), but won't work.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a very simple Silverlight application.I want it to be full-screen, and I want to draw a line onto a Canvas.My problem is that the .Width and .Height of the canvas never seem to have a valid value. The website shows the canvas at 400x300 pixels or so, and when you click on it, it goes into Fullscreen mode.I want to use the Height and Width to find the usable space of the screen. I've tried adding events (thinking that the canvas wasn't yet ready to be used immediate after the full-screen line of code) but the LayoutChanged and Resized events don't seem to yield anything.
View 1 RepliesI would like to build a line chart which can redraw or change during a period of time with dynamic data. So that the x, y axis will change if out of range. The graph may be somehow similar to Matlab. I am using vs2005.
View 2 RepliesProblem drawing dotted path lines, with even dots along the path line.I want to draw a path line that can be any shape (square, round, outline etc), and along this path line I want even dots to appear.
I also want to be able to resize the shape (as in the example attached)This is very easy to do using "DrawPath" and defining points for the path and using a pen defined as dots.The problem I have is I want the dots to be evenly placed along the path, on any shape or size I draw.In the example I have created, I create a square with 4 points and draw a dotted path.There are 2 buttons that allows me to resize the square (larger or smaller) this helps show the problem more clearly.
The path starts at the top left corner and finishes back at the top left corner, the dots are evenly placed along the path, except the final dots at the end of the path. (Sometimes the dots are even and other times they are not even).The shapes I want to draw can be any size and any shape, but I have used a square in this example to show the problem I have. point me in the direction I need to go that allows me to draw the dots and give the impression that they are even all along the path, for all shapes and sizes.
In the pictures below if you change the size of the shape, one will have even looking dots, the other will not.

draw individual pixels, without resorting to drawing a line and setting it's length to 1. Is there an actual ability to draw a pixel that is just 1 pixel big?
View 2 RepliesI need some code to draw a resizable, draggable rectangular cursor (or selection box) on a picturebox. I found some excellent code (albeit rather old) that does just that, but on a form rather than a picturebox. I have tried converting the code - basically moving things to the picturebox events (Paint, MouseDown, MouseMove etc). It nearly works but leaves a trail behind it when you move or resize the cursor. In other words, the selection rectangle is not being erased before being drawn in the new position.
Is there some fundamental difference between drawing graphics on a form and drawing on a picturebox that would cause this behaviour? Something like, when you invalidate a form and cause a redraw it erases what you did last? If not, then I just need to dig a bit further and work out how the cursor is being erased from the previous position.
Here's the original code that works fine on a form:
Private DragRect As New RectangleF(20, 20, 100, 80)
Private Adornments(7) As RectangleF
Private MouseInRect As Boolean = False

Say I have 3 Buttons, labelled: Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 3. When I click on any button I want a drawing of that unit to appear on screen at a pre-specified starting point. Thereafter when I press any other one of the buttons the unit drawings appear alongside each other in a line. So I could end up with:

I have been googling this and have not come along a working solution for an entire day. I don't know anything about binary data types (as I've never knowingly used them) and I'm trying to write a binary value that I see in the registry, to the registry. Now, all I see is the following [shown below]... and if I try to pass that as a string to the RegSetValueEx in the WinAPI and of course it errors out...
I do not know what 'numbers' I need to pass into the lpData As Any, argument of RegSetValueEx (i tried a bit array) in order for it to come out as the following [shown below] in the regedit. I really have no idea, and my tests to place random numbers in the bit array just produce corresponding random "figures" as visible in regedit that I do not understand how to 'tie' them together logically. here is the culprit!
