Hi sonia
Do u mean VB Graphics, or in General. How ever Graphics is very important to all projects. I give more User Friendly and Look and Feel. The best example is Winamp and its skins. These graphics acheived by lines and circle.

Hey Friend,
Ellipses, Arcs, Curves, lines ... are the primitive for graphics. These simple primitives contribute to a good graphics. For example Try this simple code with only line primitive

Start a New Standard Exe Project and
Draw a Picture box (Picture1) and a Command Button (Command1)

copy this code and run it.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   Dim i As Integer
   Dim sV As Single
   Dim sR As Single
   
   Picture1.ScaleMode = vbTwips
   Picture1.AutoRedraw = True
   ' Maximum Color Value for a single color is 255
   sR = 255 / (Picture1.ScaleHeight - Picture1.ScaleTop)
   For i = 0 To Picture1.ScaleHeight
      Picture1.Line (0, i)-(Picture1.ScaleWidth, i), RGB(sV, 0, 0)
      sV = sV + sR
   Next i
End Sub

This may helpful I think so If i am right. Similarly We do lot of things with these primitives.

That entirely depends on the type of projet you are doing.
