- Design and Use of Moveable and Resizable Graphics, Part 2
Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 May/Jun
Release Date: Friday, April 18, 2008
Quick ID: 0805091
Part 1 of this article dealt with the idea of moveable/resizable graphics.I wrote about contour presentation and explained the design of common and special types of contours, which allow you to apply them to the widest variety of objects. I used simple examples to illustrate the technique of involving these objects in moving/resizing. In part 2, I describe complicated cases of moveable/resizable graphics, e.g., engineering plotting, as well as objects involved in both forward moving and rotation. I also explain how you can apply the same technique to controls and how you can base customization of the forms on moveable/resizable objects.

In graphical user interfaces such as Microsoft Windows, drawing on the screen is an important task.Everything displayed on the screen is based on simple drawing operations. Often, environments such as Visual Basic abstract those drawing operations away from the developer. However, the same drawing operations still take place under the hood. In Visual Studio .NET, developers have easy access to that drawing functionality whenever they need it through a technology called GDI+. Using GDI+, developers can easily perform drawing operations such as generating graphs or building custom controls.

GDI+ is a technology that developers generally associate with Windows Forms applications because they use it to draw anything on the screen from custom controls to diagrams.However, you can also use GDI+ in ASP.NET Web applications whenever you want to serve up dynamic images. You can use GDI+ to create dynamic banners, photo albums, graphs, diagrams, and more.

There was a time, not too long ago, when browser-based user interfaces were considered both the status quo and the Next Great Thing.The demand for Windows Forms-based applications started to dwindle as the developer community fully embraced browser/server applications with their centralized server components and ubiquitous user interfaces. .NET, however, brings a much more powerful library of distributed communication technologies (such as Web services and remoting). As a result, .NET developers are seeing some of these traditionally browser-based applications becoming, more simply, Web-enabled and less tied to a browser. In short, developers can now see a very real business case for building distributed applications on Windows Forms technology.
