Try using the Scaling Transformation on the Graphics object. You can reference the method like this: g.ScaleTransform(2.0f,3.0f)
Cheers!

may your code be error free

Seriously, stop this project and go pickup a book on beginning C#. You've got some serious "C# and .NET Framework 101" issues to contend with. Just getting something as simple as a StreamWriter to work is giving to fits. Actually doing some drawing is about 10 times more difficult.
Besides, how are you going to save you're image? Are you really going to try to write binary data to a text file??

Dave Kreskowiak :how are you going to save you're image? Are you really going to try to write binary data to a text file??..yes .
ok look bro i have changed my saving code and used StreamWriter but its doesnt write binary data to a text file !!!! so when i opened the file the program doesnt display and of my drwaing ( line,ellipse,...)
PLZZZZ..MR DAVE..SEND ME BACK AS SOON AS U CAN..!!

Good luck with that!
BTW, the code you posted doesn't write ANYTHING to the file. All it does is open it. It doesn't even close the file when it's "done".
Seriously, you're missing a ton of basic knowledge you MUST have to build applications with.

thanks for ur effort mr Dave..god bless u bro..but remember i said iam TRYING to save the pic by entering binary data to text ..but i couldnt .. ..i just can creat atext but it doesnt recieve any values...
comone ..i need ur help mr Dave !!

Well, I would start by never saving an image as a text file.
Next, have you looked as the Save[^] method on the Bitmap class.

If you can't get the Stream classes down, this is WAY over your head. Go back to the basics.
There's nothing that does this for you. You have to keep track of the mouse position, where the mouse buttons were held down and where it is now, drawing, calculating the circle, arc, whatever, drawing the new graphic to your bitmap, then updating the image displayed in the PictureBox, ...

my new save code is :
System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream("c:\\testing.txt", System.IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate, System.IO.FileAccess.Write, System.IO.FileShare.ReadWrite);
// create a stream writer
System.IO.StreamWriter sw = new System.IO.StreamWriter(fs, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);
// write to file (buffer), where textbox1 is your text box
sw.Write("text");
// flush buffer (so the text really goes into the file)
sw.Flush();
// close stream writer and file
sw.Close();
fs.Close();

Try asking me if I care, first.
Next, try opening your image format in any other "paint" application, like Photoshop. Good luck with your proprietary format. Once again, the rest of the world isn't good enough for you.

You just do this so you can get off pushing people buttons.

I said open the file itself, not do some work around to paste it in somewhere else.
The Grand Negus wrote: Well, you're right about that. Is there nothing you'd like to see improved?
Everything needs improving. I just don't go running around telling the planet about every little thing that irks me and dumping my solutions on them.

True. You've left a healthy trail of evidence.

Impossible - no. Impracticle, when the methods to save the image into industry standard formats already exist, most definitly, yes.

Nope. Image files tend to be interchangable than most others though.

What you need to do is convert your shapes into a binary format. You can the deserialize them back into the original shapes. Here's some code to try.
//Serialize the shapes before saving
FileStream fs = File.Create(strFileName);
BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
bf.Serialize(fs, myArray);
fs.Close();
//Deserialize the saved shapes
FileStream fs = File.Open(strFileName, FileMode.Open);
BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
myArray = (ArrayList)bf.Deserialize(fs, null);
fs.Close();
Cheers!

Hello...
i need to split the forms to two screens show..
like one window wolla start at the main screen and any given time other windows pop up at second screen...
Thanks...

What language are you using ? .NET languages have a Screen.AllScreens enum that gives you the bounds of all your screens, so it's trivial to position windows in them.

The eraser is just drawing a thick line in the background color. Pretty easy stuff. Which bit are you stuck on ?

Hi, we're a couple of students on our internship, and we're kinda stuck in the project we're doing. I'll first try to explain what it is we are expected to make.
You have to imagine a white empty 2D paper which is virtually unlimited in size. An admin can place a question on this paper, users can then reply on the active question. The admin can also zoom in and zoom out and drag the paper around and post new questions. So we have to work with an environment that contains a fair amount of questions linked to answers. Every question can be differently scaled, so this means that you have to zoom in more on some questions than others.
Basic functionality would have to be panning the paper, by that I mean hold mouse down and dragging it to another position, thus moving all objects on the paper in that direction.
We've tried this with the following code, however the performance was really bad.
void Window_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
if (mbMouseDown)<br />
{<br />
Point bNew = e.GetPosition(Window);<br />
foreach (UIElement oObject in LayoutRoot.Children)<br />
{<br />
Canvas.SetTop(oObject, bNew.X - mpBegin.X);<br />
Canvas.SetLeft(oObject, bNew.Y - mpBegin.Y);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
mbMouseDown = false;<br />
}<br />
<br />
void LayoutRoot_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
if (mbMouseDown)<br />
{<br />
Point bNew = e.GetPosition(Window);<br />
foreach (UIElement oObject in LayoutRoot.Children)<br />
{<br />
Canvas.SetTop(oObject, bNew.X - mpBegin.X);<br />
Canvas.SetLeft(oObject, bNew.Y - mpBegin.Y);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
void LayoutRoot_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
mbMouseDown = true;<br />
mpBegin = e.GetPosition(Window);<br />
}
With the zooming we tried the scaling functionality of wpf.
private void Window_MouseWheel(object sender, MouseWheelEventArgs e)<br />
<br />
{<br />
<br />
if (e.Delta > 0)<br />
<br />
{<br />
<br />
mpScaleSize = new Point((mpScaleSize.X - 0.05), (mpScaleSize.Y - 0.05));<br />
<br />
grdCanvas.LayoutTransform = new ScaleTransform(mpScaleSize.X, mpScaleSize.Y);<br />
<br />
zoomX.Content = mpScaleSize.X.ToString();<br />
<br />
zoomY.Content = mpScaleSize.Y.ToString();<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
else<br />
<br />
{<br />
<br />
mpScaleSize = new Point((mpScaleSize.X + 0.05), (mpScaleSize.Y + 0.05));<br />
<br />
grdCanvas.LayoutTransform = new ScaleTransform(mpScaleSize.X, mpScaleSize.Y);<br />
<br />
zoomX.Content = mpScaleSize.X.ToString();<br />
<br />
zoomY.Content = mpScaleSize.Y.ToString();<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
}
This again wasn't going smoothly.
(My laptop is a IBM Thinkpad r50p, 1,7Ghrz Centrino, 1gig RAM, maybe it's just not fast enough?)
Anyway , I've posted this same question on the msdn forums. One person with little experience with the subject suggested me that I should try to work with visualBrushes and use it as some kind of view. I've been playing around with the VisualBrushes for a while now.
I've managed to get controls from code onto the VisualBrush(which is on a rectangle in the center of my app), however working with VisualBrush as some kind of view isn't working for me.What I "discovered"is that working with the viewbox property of the visualbrush might be the solution, but I can't seem to get it to work.
To my understanding the viewbox is a rectangle with it's x & y as panning values, and it's with & height as crop/stretch values (zoom).
Anyone with some experience in the area, I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Tobias
