I am making a garden display using bricks. A portion of the brick garden area will be a circle made up of 26 bricks laid next to each other around the circumference of the circle where the corners of each brick touch. If I take the 26 bricks and lay then out into a complet circle I get a circle with a radius of approx 31 inches.
The bricks are 7 1/2 inches long by 3 1/2 inches wide and 2 1/4 inches thick.
Now I want to draw this circle using VB. I want to make a top-view of the circle of bricks. So, I need to make two circles; one circle is the inner circle of the bricks and the other circle is the outer circle or the other edge of the bricks. The radius of 31 inches will make the inner circle where the bricks touch each other. I also need to divide this circle into 26 segments (each segment represents the length of a brick). After the circle is divide into 26 segments I need to draw a line from one point to the other point of each segment which will represent the straight edge of the brick on the inside circle.
I include a picture to show what I am talking about.
