Graphics grid question

[Brenton]

How can I set a coordinate system in a picturebox. For example:

0,0,0 would be center of picturebox.

>0,0,0 would be center of picturebox

hmmm 3d in a picturebox!

is there any particular reason why you need to use a picturebox.

would it not be easier to use Direct3D.

good luck!

Or you can atleast setup a two-axis coordinate system in a picture box using the Scale method (or statement).

Here is how it goes...
Draw a (big enough) picture box on your form and paste the following code in it. It will setup a normal X-Y plane with X=-100, Y=100 on the top-left corner and X=100, Y=-100 on the bottom-right corner.

Move your mouse around the picture box, the coordinates of the underneath point will appear in tooltip.

Private Sub Form_Load()
Picture1.Scale (-100, 100)-(100, -100)
End Sub

Private Sub Picture1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Picture1.ToolTipText = "(" & Int(X) & ", " & Int(Y) & &quot"
End Sub
