VB transfer data into bitmap file

[pangct]

Hi, I'm doing a project entitled, signature recognition system. I have built a touch screen capture device with PIC. The data is transfered from PIC to PC through RS232 serial comm. I need to write a program in VB to transfer the data signal into bitmap (to display the signature).
The signal will be x and y coordinate, and each (x,y) represent the touch on my device.
I'm very fresh in VB, i try to search for VB reference book on transformation into bitmap file, but failed. i really appreciate to get any help or comment from you all. Thank you very much!!

You could set up a picture box to represent the screen capture, then use the Setpixel() function to change pixels based on your x,y input. Be sure to set the scale of the picture box accordingly, the default is +y in the down direction; this may not correspond to your x,y input.
