I need a really tiny simple short code example, that I can build and run without editing, that

1) draws 2 black lines and a 1/4" in black dot on a white
square inside a vb form

2) this image should be scaleable

3) saves the image to a printable and webable image file ( bmp ? jpn ? jpeg ?)

Once I have this I can play with the co-ords and sizes to generate
some simple diagrams programmatically.

The examples I have seen so far are too complicated or get
compile errors I don't have the knowledge to fix.

Can anyone oblige ?

Thanks !

it looks like a school assignment.
please provide us with the code you wrote so far, and we will be glad to help you

Look into the GDI (Graphical Device Interface) for VB 6.
