I'm trying to create a watch. Which is a pain in my (3 letter word for rear). I've all ready sucessfuly drawn the numbers on the watches face with Boops help:
Code:
Public Class Form1
    Dim P As New Pen(Brushes.Red, 1)
    Dim a As Integer = 12
    Dim b As Integer = 2
    Dim Angle As Single = CSng(b / a * Math.PI)
    Dim drawingMargin As Integer = CInt(Me.Width / 6)

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.SetClientSizeCore(400, 400)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint
        e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality

        Dim Rect As Rectangle = Me.ClientRectangle
        Rect.Inflate(-drawingMargin, -drawingMargin)

        Using mypen As New Pen(Color.Blue, 1)


            For i As Integer = 1 To a Step 1
                Dim Centre As New Point(Me.ClientSize.Width \ 2, Me.ClientSize.Height \ 2)
                Dim outerRadius As Single = Centre.X - drawingMargin / 2.0F
                Dim outerX, outerY As Single

                outerX = Centre.X + CSng(outerRadius * Math.Sin(Angle * i))
                outerY = Centre.Y - CSng(outerRadius * Math.Cos(Angle * i))
                Dim number As String = i.ToString
                Dim numberSize As SizeF = e.Graphics.MeasureString(number, Me.Font)
                Dim textLocation As New PointF(outerX - numberSize.Width / 2.0F, outerY - numberSize.Height / 2.0F)

                e.Graphics.DrawString(i.ToString, Me.Font, Brushes.Black, textLocation)

            Next i
        End Using

        e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Black, Me.ClientRectangle)
    End Sub
problem is, I don't know how this math works inside the loop, and well outside it too. I know that the circumfrance of a circle is pi times radius squared,the radius is half the distance, and that the center point is 1/2 of the width and height. Also, I found out that the angle of a triangle from the center to 2 numbers is 30 degrees(360/12). Could y'all kinda help me out on this one? I did terrible in highschool math, and I just wanna understand it :P
