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 !

I see we have a cross poster:

I understand that you are trying to maximize your exposure in an attempt to expedite a result, but try to keep posts to a single thread.

Anyhow; you've posted in a VB 6 and a VB 2005 form. What language do you really want to use?

It is much easier to manipulate graphics in VB 2005 (GDI+) than VB 6 (GDI).

Here are a couple helpful links:
