Hello,

I'm looking for a graphic control I can use in .NET.
I need the following features:

- drawing shapes
- filling shapes with color, gradient or texture
- drawing splines, arcs and curves
- present the drawings on a graphical map (jpg)

I prefer .NET technology. I know Vector Graphics ActiveX controls but that's
using COM technology.

Who knows a graphic control with specified features above?

Thanx,

Simon

Look at the MSDN documentation and look for the System.Drawing namespace.
This is a good place to start.

Additionally, look at managed DirectX. You can download the latest version
from the MSDN website.

Also, there is a newsgroup call microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.drawing
that might help you with your quest.
