In windows--what does Flash use under the hood? It's a relatively simple question which I can never find the answer to. Is it GDI (for windows VM implementations) or something else? You don't need to go into any of the new GPU acceleration features of Flash. I just really want to the inner workings because it's NEVER discussed. ...

We've got a pretty complex graph in an Access DB stored as nodes (node1, node2, etc.) and edges between the nodes (n1->n2 etc.). We'd like to visualize this in an MS Access application. What "graphics packages" would you suggest? How can these be integrated into Access? We're currently using Access 2002. NOTE: A tree control is not suf...

Hey guys, I would like to develop a light/laser show editor and simulator, and for this of course I am going to learn some graphics programming. I am thinking about using C# and XNA. I was just wondering what aspects of graphics programming I should research or focus on given the project I am working on. I am new to graphics programming...
I'd like to implement a dragging feature where users can drag objects around the workspace. That of course is the easy bit. The hard bit is to try and make it a physically correct drag which incorporates rotation due to torque moments (imagine dragging a book around on a table using only one finger, how does it rotate as you drag?). Doe...

Looking for method for wrapping a 2d image around a 3d object, such as a helmet, and then unwrapping it back to 2d image to allow printing. For example, you have a photograph that you want to use to wrap a bike helmet. You do not want the image to be distorted even though it will be wrapped on complex 3d object. Once sized and positioned...
Is it possible to load and display EPS file using plain WinForms GDI+? If not, is there a free library to help out? I seem to remember that Windows GDI supported EPS files, but after Googling around a bit, I am starting to doubt that memory. All I want to do is load the file and draw it using a Graphics context. I am aware that I can ...

I have to make a program that uses C# Generated Graphics to make a replica of my name that I wrote in cursive. Twist is, I have to use Bezier Curves. I've already called a function to make Bezier Curves using 4 points and a gravity concept. My question to you is, What would be the easiest way to make around 10 curves. Here is my functio...
I'd like to spruce up some of the user controls I use and thought some attractive fills should do the job (part of it perhaps). Like the fill in the background of iPhone buttons or the Office 2007 ribbon bar (perhaps you know a few more). Edit: To clear things up, I don't need a simple gradient fill - there is a Windows API call for tha...
I have two questions actually: Is it better to draw an image on a bitmap or create a bitmap as resource and then draw it over a bitmap? Performance wise... which one is better? If I want to draw something transparent over a bitmap, how would I go about doing it? If I want to overlay one transparent bitmap over another, how would I do i...

Is there a platform-independent C/C++ library that can draw simple "graphics" in pure ASCII in a console program? For example (VERY roughly) I could call a function in the library like rectangle(3, 6); to get the following output: ****** * * ****** Ultimately, I would love to be able to plot simple graphs based on input data tables...
Hi, reading the docs i see that the glGetTexImage2d() function has a 'type' parameter. The docs say that the type parameter "specifies the data type of the pixel data" and gives some examples of types such as GL_INT, GL_BYTE, etc. but what does it mean precisely when the image format is GL_RGBA and GL_INT ? is it an int for each channe...
