Create a bitmap 1

[emergencyplan]

Hello,

I have a program that reads an ASCII grid of altitudes and displays a coloured grid (depending on the altitude) in a picture box on the form, each grid square is drawn using picdisplay.line (x,y)-(x,y),vbColor,BF.

Is there a way of saving this picture box as a bitmap, I have experimented with savepicture picdisplay.image, "C:\Image.bmp" without success.

Thanks,

Laurence

Try this:

Picture1.Picture = Picture1.Image
SavePicture Picture1, "C:\whatever.bmp"

or just:

SavePicture Picture1.image, "C:\whatever.bmp"

Set AutoRedraw to True before drawing your picture; that way it'll be rendered into the persitant bitmap represented by the Image property. Once that's done, voila! savepicture picdisplay.image, "C:\Image.bmp" should work as expected.

Was this any help?
