Hi,

After an MSDN search found some links about pictures:

Hope it helps,

If the figure will be a rectangle, you can do..

PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("C:\eiffel.jpg")
        Dim bm As Bitmap = New Bitmap(200, 200)
        Dim gr As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bm)
        gr.DrawImage(PictureBox1.Image, 0, 0, New RectangleF(50, 50, 200, 200), GraphicsUnit.Pixel)
        'bm is the bitmap inside that coordinates, if you want to save it..
        bm.Save("C:\NewImage.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
        gr.Dispose()
        gr = Nothing

But, if it will be any kind of polygon (not a rectangle), you can use a GraphicsPath to do it..

PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("C:\eiffel.jpg") 'Load an image, here or in design mode
        Dim bm As Bitmap = New Bitmap(300, 300)  'bitmap with its size
        'The GraphicsPath..
        Dim gp As Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath = New Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath(Drawing2D.FillMode.Winding)
        Dim pts(4) As PointF 'Array of points for the GraphicsPath
        Dim gr As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bm)
 
        'Set the path coordinates (points)
        pts(0).X = 10 : pts(0).Y = 10
        pts(1).X = 100 : pts(1).Y = 50
        pts(2).X = 140 : pts(2).Y = 250
        pts(3).X = 30 : pts(3).Y = 300
        pts(4).X = 10 : pts(4).Y = 10 'Back to origin to close the figure
 
        gp.AddLines(pts)     'Create the graphicspath drawing lines from points array
        gp.CloseAllFigures() 'Ensure figures are closed if you want
        gr.SetClip(gp)       'Clip the path area
        gr.DrawImage(PictureBox1.Image, 0, 0) 'Draw it
        bm.Save("C:\NewImage.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) 'Save the result
 
        gr.Dispose()
        pts = Nothing
