3D shape, 3D Curve and 3D Ball in VB .Net using GDI+

 
3D shape, 3D Curve and 3D Ball in VB .Net using GDI+


The most basic form of graphics programming in Visual Basic.Net utilizes a collection of classes known as GDI+.
GDI+ stands for Graphics Device Interface Plus and the reason for the plus suffix is because prior to GDI+
there was GDI so it is there to be shown as an improvement over its predecessor.

The GDI+ classes reside in the System.Drawing namespace and some classes are:
 - System.Drawing.Bitmap
 - System.Drawing.Graphics
 - System.Drawing.Icon
 - System.Drawing.Image
Once you have a canvas to draw on, you need to have some kind of object to start the drawing; the
System.Drawing.Graphics class is what takes care of the drawing operations in
Visual Basic.Net. There are three different methods to use the Graphics class, one method accesses
a Graphics object that already exist while the other two methods actually create a Graphics object.
In order to access a Graphics object that already exists, you must utilize the PaintEventArgs in a
control’s Paint event. This is the parameter e in the event declaration:

Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint
    Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
End Sub
Or get that of PictureBox1 control like the following code:
  Dim g As System.Drawing.Graphics
  g = PictureBox1.CreateGraphics

Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 community or with licenze and select a New Project on the File menu.
Select Visual Basic, Windows Form Application then click OK, insert the first form Form1,
from the toolbar insert three buttons Button1, Button2 and Button3
add an other control PictureBox1 for the drawing

In this project you need to declare the following variables

    Dim g As System.Drawing.Graphics 
    Dim pen1 As New System.Drawing.Pen(Color.Blue, 0.5) ' the pen with a specific color 
    Const PI = 3.14159 
    Dim flag, col, r, h, hl, n, n1 As Short
    Dim x, y, z, cx, cy, cz, thx, thy, thz As Single
    Dim point1, point2, point3, point4, point5 As System.Drawing.Point

Double click on the Button1 and add the following code
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click


        Dim th As Single
        Static ax(9), ay(9), az(9)
        Static bx(9), by(9), bz(9)
        h = 160 : thy = 0.2
        col = 0 : n1 = 1
        r = 100
        n = 8
        thx = 0.2
        PictureBox1.Refresh()
        ax(0) = h : ay(0) = h : az(0) = h
        n1 = 1
        For th = 0 To 2 * PI + 0.1 Step 2 * PI / n
            x = r * Math.Cos(th) : y = -h : z = r * Math.Sin(th)
            Call dzorotationX() : Call dzorotationX()
            bx(n1) = x : by(n1) = y : bz(n1) = z
            n1 = n1 + 1
        Next th
        For n1 = 1 To n
            x = ax(n1) : y = ay(n1)
            Call dzodrawline()
            x = ax(n1 + 1) : y = ay(n1 + 1)
            Call dzodrawline()
            x = bx(n1 + 1) : y = by(n1 + 1)
            Call dzodrawline()
            x = bx(n1) : y = by(n1)
            Call dzodrawline()
        Next n1
    End Sub
And here is the result after execution

        h = 170 : a = 6 : b = 6
        For y = y1 + 6 To y2 - 6 Step 1 / cy
            For x = x1 To x2 Step 1 / cx * 2
                zz = h * Math.Exp(-x * x / a * a - y * y / b * b)
                xx = x * cx + sx1 + 160
                yy = sy1 - y * cy
                sx = Int(xx + y * cy * Math.Cos(s))
                sy = yy - zz
                sy = sy - 100
                If x = -3 Then
                    point1.X = sx - 60 : point1.Y = sy - 20
                Else : point2.X = sx - 60 : point2.Y = sy - 20
