   The Mess to All   
   Line Method Function   
   04 Dec 05 11:53:41   
   
   From: email@none.com   
      
   I am using VB5.   
   I wish I had a function to draw a line, giving the angle and length but I do   
   not have the math skills involved to do this. Does anyone have a function   
   that they care to share that does this?   
   I was thinking something like:   
   Public Sub DrawLine(X1 as single, Y1 as single, Len as single, Angle as   
   single, byref  X2 as single, byref  Y2 as single)   
   and have X2 and Y2 assigned in the Sub (rather than just a line drawn -   
   because I would like to do a little more processing first.   
      
   The purpose of this is that I have a Square (drawn with the line method)   
   that is cut in half diagonally (line method) and I would like half of it (a   
   triangle) shaded in with hash mark lines (user selective in what the angle   
   of these marks might be.)   
   Any help would be appreciated. I tried some searches and get lots of math   
   lessons but I would have a lot to learn to accomplish this. Or maybe there   
   is a better way?   
   Thanks.
