Hey just need to ask a few questions hopefully one of you can answer as i have spent hours trying with no results and my code is a bit unorganised at the moment as im still learning:

(code down bottom)
1.How do you stop your picturebox clearing when the form is minimized?

2.How can you resize a Polygon that has been drawn using a trackbar?

3.How can you use a colordialog to change the color of the "draw.rectangle" and "draw.circle" ect.

4.How do you make the picturebox resize itself when form is maximized?

Thanks in advance Brandon

An easy way to persist drawn images is to do the drawing onto a separate Bitmap object, and then set the PictureBox's Image property.

Suppose that the center has coordinates (c,d), s is the scaling factor in the x direction and t is the scaling factor in the y direction. For any point P with coordinates (x,y) you want to transform P by

x is transformed to s(x - c) + c
y is transformed to t(y - d) + d
