Exporting Data Or Code To A .png

Question

How Do you Export Code To A .png In Order To Make It Animated? I Am Using VB.Net 2008 Express Edition.

Answer 1

Create a page like "myimage.aspx" and in the codebehind (sorry, this is C#)

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(width, height);
Graphics gfx = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
gfx.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, 0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height);

Use the gfx to draw on the image (see it's methods). Then return the PNG in the response stream

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
bmp.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "image/png";
Response.BinaryWrite(ms.GetBuffer());
Response.End();

You can then reference this in HTML like

<img src="myimage.aspx" />
