Scale in VB.NET

[JCK]

I have a VB 6 app. that reads in x, y coordinates and then draws a polygon from these coordinates on the screen. I used the "Scale" method of the form (e.g., Form1.Scale) to set the upper left and lower right coordinates of the form to the min/max x and y values so I could plot out all coordinates on the screen.

I've having problems doing this in .NET since the Scale method is not supported. Is there something similar to Scale that will let me set the upper left and lower right coordinates of a form in custom units rather than pixels? Any thoughts appreciated.

well I'm guessing you're using a Graphics object to draw your thingies (how else ha?) I think the best way would be to try this method, worked well for me, but not for the same purpose. Just call it once, and then whenever you draw something with your graphics object it should be "translated" to the amount you specified

Graphics.TranslateTransform

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

umm did I tell you the right thing? if you want to shift stuff thats the right thing but if you want to change the scale then I think there is also a scaleTransform function. Let me know if it works out for you

Thanks, I'll try that also. I'll let you know if I have any luck.
