Program to draw meter face

Does anyone know of an existing program that will draw an analog meter face with gradient, numbers and such or what steps I would take to write one?

Looking for opinions and tips...

Thanks...

do you want it to be a control where there is a dial that changes based on variables?

Right now....I just need something that will draw an analog meter face and save it as a bitmap so I can print it out. It does not have to have an function. It also needs be customizable. I mean so that I can change the gradients, numbers, and even the arc of the line would be nice.

Thanks!

The sticky note at the top of this group has a link to 101 VB.NET Examples. Download that, there is an analog clock example which you could modify to create your meter face.

I've seen it, but thanks...

I thought there might be a sample project already out there somewhere more closely related.

I just happen to have been working on this recently as a VB Net learning exercise.
It's very simple and basic, but it's free. Have fun, hopefully it will be of some use.

It draws a simple guage on the form itself, which is not persistent.
and it draws to a bitmap in a picturebox.

Hey thanks! I will take a look.

This looks pretty good...
