Complicated--applying Scale-Transform to a series of points

[MrPolite]

lets say I have an array of points and I want to apply a ScaleTransform to them. I dont know if .NET provides a way to do this or not, but I hope it does. This pic shows what I want to do.

Basically there is a series of points and you are RESIZING them like a picture. I know it's possible to do translateTransform to an array of Points, but I don't know about the scale transform...I hope someone knows how to do this.... any ideas?

(by Point, I mean System.Drawing.Point.... I'm not actually drawing anything with the points. I just want their coordinates to change)

i think the best way is to define a center for the array of points and that way u'll just have to change the size FROM the center to bigger numbers...err..maybe i mjsut saying poopie

[MrPolite]

hehehe and how do you want to FIND a center for that? I just have a series of RANDOM points

hmm just make a virtual rectangle and then make the calculations..the width/2 , height / 2 and then u'll get the center point, from there on there should be somewhat easy to do the rest..or am i missing something?

[PT Exorcist]

to make the rectangle just put ALL System.Drawing.Points into a collection..then make a variable called minHeight, minWidth, maxHeight, maxWidth

and use:

if (pointCollection(1).Width < minWidth) then
pointCollection(1).Width
end if

i think i didnt explain very well but i hope u got the point
