The ImageLib library extends the support for drawings and images.

The library includes five types of objects:

- Drawer - The main object, includes methods for drawing on other images.

- Bitmap - Bitmaps are images loaded from image files or newly created.

- Brush - Brushes are graphic objects which are used when filling shapes (eg: FillRectangle).

- Pen - Pens are graphic objects which are used when drawing shapes (eg: DrawRectangle).

- Rectangle - Rectangle objects represent a set of four points (organized as a rectangle) and are used in other drawing methods. It is more efficient to use rectangles than using four points each time.

Example:

'Add a Bitmap object named bitmap1, Brush object named brush1, a Drawer object named drawer and a Rectangle object named rect1.

Sub Globals

End Sub

Sub App_Start

      Form1.Show

      bitmap1.New2(100,100)

      rect1.New1(0,0,bitmap1.Width,bitmap1.Height)

      drawer.New2(bitmap1.Value, b4pObject(5)) 'The drawer will draw on bitmap1

      brush1.New1(cGold)

      drawer.FillRectangle(brush1.Value,rect1.Value)

      brush1.Color = cBlue

      rect1.Width = 40  

      drawer.FillEllipse(brush1.Value,rect1.Value)

      form1.DrawImage(bitmap1.Value,10,10) 'Draws bitmap1 on form1

End Sub
