Hi Agnes,

>>How is it at the "houses from stone"? < giggle / >
Sorry, but I didn't catch this one... Can you reveal what you meant here ? (Probably a language difference of culture)


>>I've tried around GdiPlusX but in the end I've used the _gdiplus.vcx that ships with vfp. This is because I do small changes to the reportlistener app, and thisone loades the _gdiplus.vcx anyway.

I understand. But in my case, I preferred to keep using GdiPlusX, as I'm used to it and I find it easier to use :-). Basically they do exactly the same. You can even use GdiPlusX objects in _gdiplus.vcx. That means that you can use GdiPlusX to create a gradient brush or a matrix or a special pen or brush and send this object as a parameter to GdiPlus.vcx, and they will work fine together ! To make this possible, we made some simple adaptations in GdiPlusX to make its objects compatible with the old gdi+ classes. If you need to go deeper on this, let me know.


>> Do I understand right that things like RotateTransform and TranslateTransform turn and move the the area I work with? To me it looks like that TranslateTransform moves the point of origin and the RotateTransform turns the area around that point.

To my knowledge, they do exactly what you said here.


>> So if I do not "reset" those actions I end up with all things before RotateTransform rotate negative?

After using the transformation matrix, I do always reset or release it, other wise the Graphics object will keep drawing with the transformations.

Hope this helps

Regards

Cesar

But for testing it was great (Could copy easier from the web). All my knowlegde is from GDIPlusX and the I transformed to _gdiplus.vcx. I would have used GDIPlusX but the other one was there. ::(

Do I understand right that things like RotateTransform and TranslateTransform turn and move the the area I work with? To me it looks like that TranslateTransform moves the point of origin and the RotateTransform turns the area around that point. So if I do not "reset" those actions I end up with all things before RotateTransform rotate negative?
