Hi, Thanks for your help in advance. I need some help with drawing
images in VB.Net. This seems simple to me but I can't seem to find a
good example to get me started. I want to take a source image which is
a rectangle and then resize and stretch the image in to a different
shape like a parallelogram. I have been trying to do this with GDI+ but
need a better example then what is given. If someone could give me an
example or point me to a good one you would be a great help.

Thanks

Jim,

One of the methods, create a bitmap from your image and than use the endless
times overloaded drawimage to write it in another bitmap.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Try making x1 and y2 bigger

Dim x1 As Single = x + bmp.Width + 100
'
'
Dim y2 As Single = y + bmp.Height + 100
