Draw region and fill the closed regions with a color

[junlo]

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Me.Font.Bold = True
        With Picture1
        .ScaleMode = 3
        .AutoRedraw = True
        .ScaleLeft = 99.7
        .ScaleWidth = 101.46667 - 99.7
        .ScaleTop = 4.0166694
        .ScaleHeight = 2.85667 - 4.0166694
    End With
End Sub

i have set the picture1 with the scale above. Now, i need to draw region using the coordinates from the "testDepthArea.txt".

format "testDepthArea.txt" is like below:
START 42, L, 87=2;88=5
101.28147000 3.20742000
101.27951000 3.20788000
101.27933000 3.20833000
101.27951000 3.20865000
101.28088000 3.20978000
101.28121000 3.21074000
STOP
START 42, A, 87=5;88=10
101.28147000 3.20742000
101.27951000 3.20788000
101.27933000 3.20833000
101.27951000 3.20865000
101.28088000 3.20978000
101.28121000 3.21074000
101.28121000 3.21074000
101.28147000 3.20742000
STOP

i want use the coordinates between the "Start line" and "Stop line" to create a region, then the color to fill the region is refer to the value after 87=XX
maybe need to set the color first.
for example
set 87=5 ----->5 as red
set 87=2------>2 as yellow

sorry, i want to update the attach file. now , i attach the file which i need to used to write the program.

[triggernum5]

Do you mean column 1 represents one axis, column 2 the other, and you seek the region bounding the diagonal line?

[opus]

junlo, I gave you some code to draw colored regions in one of your other threats.
The thing you want is to draw those regions on a picturebox, so you need to convert those coordinates (you have got the code needed).
You have a different syntax in your file now, the problem how to get the regions surrounded by START and STOP you do request yet in another threat.
Why don't you use all the help given so far instead of asking nearly the same stuff over and over again.
As you see there lots of people willing to help!

opus, thanks you for your code.
i not understand some part of the code(i have highlight in red color). Can you explain to me that what consept is taken to generate the coordinates.

Region2Count = Region2Count + 1
            ReDim Preserve Region2(Region2Count)
            Region2(Region2Count - 1).Latitude = Latitude
            Region2(Region2Count - 1).Longitude = Longitude

[junlo]

Do you mean column 1 represents one axis, column 2 the other, and you seek the region bounding the diagonal line?

yes, column 1 represent the axis-x, column 2 represent axis-y. i want the value between "start line" and "stop line" to draw a region and fill with a color.

for example:
START 42, A, 87=5;88=10
101.28147000 3.20742000
101.27951000 3.20788000
101.27933000 3.20833000
101.27951000 3.20865000
101.28088000 3.20978000
101.28121000 3.21074000
101.28121000 3.21074000
101.28147000 3.20742000
STOP

the "A" represent the value inside "start" and "stop" can connerted to became a closed area. because the starting point and the end point is same.(highlight in red).

seen i have many set of data inside the "start" and "stop", so i want "87=XX" to be a reference color.if the value "87=xx" is same for other set of data,then they will fill with the same color.

[opus]

first off all I was using the file provided in the other threat, that'S why it doesn't fitt in here.
The file had a large number of depth-values of 2, 10, 20,30 50 and 100's, so I decided to use those positions to create a region for each of those depths. I didn't check wether the coordinates would create a regular region (no crossings and so on), in my opinion you should do that!
After reading the depth-value for arrDepth I call the Sub "CreateRegion", handing over the actual Longitude and Latitude(both converted to the PixelValues for your Picture1) and the depth.
Now to the actual code, I'll put in some comments.

Private Sub CreateRegion(Longitude As Long, Latitude As Long, Depth As Single)
'This Sub will add the coordinates(Longitude,Latitude) to the region of this depth
'The Regions are arrays called Region2 (for depth 2) Region10 (for depth10) ....
 
Dim i As Integer
'The select case is used to determine which Region the point will go to.
Select Case Depth
    Case Is = 2
            'if the Depth is 2, the Counter for all Points of Region2 is increased by 1
            Region2Count = Region2Count + 1
            'The array Region2 gets increased by 1, using PRESERVED to ensure the old values remain in the array
            ReDim Preserve Region2(Region2Count)
            'Latitude and Longitude are set to the new array-point
            Region2(Region2Count - 1).Latitude = Latitude
            Region2(Region2Count - 1).Longitude = Longitude
    Case Is = 10
            Region10Count = Region10Count + 1
            ReDim Preserve Region10(Region10Count)
            Region10(Region10Count - 1).Latitude = Latitude
            Region10(Region10Count - 1).Longitude = Longitude
    Case Is = 20
            Region20Count = Region20Count + 1
            ReDim Preserve Region20(Region20Count)
            Region20(Region20Count - 1).Latitude = Latitude
            Region20(Region20Count - 1).Longitude = Longitude
    Case Is = 30
            Region30Count = Region30Count + 1
            ReDim Preserve Region30(Region30Count)
            Region30(Region30Count - 1).Latitude = Latitude
            Region30(Region30Count - 1).Longitude = Longitude
    Case Is = 50
            Region50Count = Region50Count + 1
            ReDim Preserve Region50(Region50Count)
            Region50(Region50Count - 1).Latitude = Latitude
            Region50(Region50Count - 1).Longitude = Longitude
    Case Is = 100
            Region100Count = Region100Count + 1
            ReDim Preserve Region100(Region100Count)
            Region100(Region100Count - 1).Latitude = Latitude
            Region100(Region100Count - 1).Longitude = Longitude
End Select
End Sub

You have a different syntax in your file now, the problem how to get the regions surrounded by START and STOP you do request yet in another threat.

for the previous request in other thread:i was asking to change format below
START 43, L, 133=20000;174=10
101.32412440 2.97892000
101.32416420 2.97895800
STOP
to became like this
101.32412440 2.97892000;10
101.32416420 2.97895800;10

but this time, i just found that when has the "START 42,A"
START 42, A, 87=5;88=10
101.28147000 3.20742000
101.27951000 3.20788000
101.27933000 3.20833000
101.27951000 3.20865000
101.28088000 3.20978000
101.28121000 3.21074000
101.28121000 3.21074000
101.28147000 3.20742000
STOP

A refer as area,it can connect to became a closed area. because the starting point and the end point is same.(highlight in red).
87=xx represent minimum depth in that area
88=xxrepresent maximum depth in that area

my question now is,seen my data is all in the format "start .......stop".then can i used it without changing to other kind of format.
when meet the "Start 42,A", draw a closed area with a color represent the depth for that area.

[triggernum5]

Getiing the numbers from the text file is easy, but Junio, the more you try to explain this, the more confused I get.. You aren't using any kind of notation I've ever seen, so maybe you should draw a picture example..

[junlo]

The file had a large number of depth-values of 2, 10, 20,30 50 and 100's, so I decided to use those positions to create a region for each of those depths. I didn't check wether the coordinates would create a regular region (no crossings and so on), in my opinion you should do that!

how to check whether the coordinates would create a regular region????
i had no idea on it.can you provide me the sample or do you know any website can get this kind of infro?thanks.

from your code, i found that between the region will create diagonal area which fill with color. is it possible to get out the diagonal area???

[opus]

No, I don't have any coe to check wether the region is "regular".
The effect you see is probably caused by such a irregular region, i.e. something like a figure eight. You would have to check each region for no crossings or something like that.

[junlo]

Opus, my main purpose is get the value of depth to plot a line graph.
For example:
if the mouse point to the (latitude,longitude)=depth.
one graph is maintain the longitude, then get the depth value (latitude - 0.0002,longitude) until (latitude +0.0002,longitude).
another graph is maintain the latitude,then get the depth value (latitude,longitude -0.0002) until (latitude,longitude+0.0002).

But, the data which i have still have a lots of point where Depth is "0".
i fail to generate the entries of depth value by using the method fill region with color.

So, is it possible i can get depth value by decrease the latitude(instead of latitude -0.0002,longitude) until meet the depth value which is not "0", increase the latitude (instead of latitude -0.0002,longitude) until meet the depth value which is not "0". then get these two depth value to plot line graph.

[opus]

Your main purpose gets unclear again!
What does

my main purpose is get the value of depth to plot a line graph.

meam? you want to plot a graph, originally you wanted to show the depth-value of each point using the mousemove event.

Regarding the problem with all the possible (pixel-)points that have a zero depth value:
If the coloring isn't the way to go for you (differnt color showing different depth RANGE!) you need to generate a "bogus" (or estimated) depth value for each (pixel-)point. Since you can't just use the difference between the next points less and more depth (think about it, some times a point is surrounded only by one line), you need something similar to the colouring. At the start all points have one depth, then you add a region (like before), all points within that region have a different depth, continue that for all regions you have. That problem is remaining that you need "regular" regions!

[junlo]

Your main purpose gets unclear again!
What does meam? you want to plot a graph, originally you wanted to show the depth-value of each point using the mousemove event.

yes,i need the mousemove event and also the graph. the mousemove event only show at that pixel is what value of depth.
i also need to plot two graph to show value depth surrounding at that pixel which show by the mouse.
one graph is front-back view of that pixel(maintain longitude,decrease and increase latitude), another is side view(maintain latitude,decrease and increase longitude) of the depth pixel.

sorry, my english not good enough to explain. hope you can understand it.

[opus]

I do understand your problem.
You have some depth values on your chart area, but you need the depth value for all possible points (in case of the mousemove event all pixel points / in case of the graphs for lat and long the gradient until the next point).
The problemsis that I don't know any soöution on how to get those values using any kind of mathematics on its own, maybe some other folks (I'd try it inthe math or game section using a better threat title). Even "making" those values by isn't easy, since you the data you have is not not enough (in my opinion)

[junlo]

opus, i don't know write the program to fill the region.
So, i have manually do it by using paint.
then, how to write the program to represent each color a different depth value.

[opus]

You could use the mouseposition to determine the color, since you know which depth is which color you could state the depth for each point. all you need is the code to get the color of a the pixel your mouse is pointing on!

[junlo]

how to write the code to get the color of the pixel? i don't idea to write the code. can you show me an example?

In the map, white is 100 depth, purple is 50, green is 30, red is 20, yellow is 10 and cyan is 2.

emr...actually i don't sure the color of 2 is blue or cyan because i use paint and pick the color. i don't know their RGB. how can i know the RGB?

[opus]

you have the x and y valuesof the mouse the mousemove event.
Use this to get the RGB color of that point:
RGBColorvalue = Picturebox.Point(x,y)

[junlo]

you have the x and y valuesof the mouse the mousemove event.
Use this to get the RGB color of that point:
RGBColorvalue = Picturebox.Point(x,y)

Private Sub Picture1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
RGBcolorValue = PictureBox.Point(x, y)
Picture1.ToolTipText = "x=" & CStr(x) & " y=" & CStr(y) & "Lat=" & CStr(GetLatitude(y)) & " Long=" & CStr(GetLongitude(x)) & " Depth: " & CStr(arrDepth(x, y)) & RGBcolorValue
End Sub

i used the code above, but it came out an error "object required", and highlight the code "RGBcolorValue = PictureBox.Point(x, y)"

[junlo]

opus, i very very need your help.

i want to get all the pixel infro(x,y and color) of the bitmap picture ( the one i manually do it by using paint) to store it in a plain text.

the plain text format is something like the below:
100.67719000 4.01361000;1.5
100.65643000 4.01546000;7

column one is the pixel x value which have been transfer to longitude value
column two is the pixel y value which have been transfer to latitude value
column three is the RGBcolor which have been transfer to depth value.

hope you can provide me the code to do it. your help is very important to me.thank you very much.

[opus]

Your needs are turning in circles, I suggest you redefine your needs from the beginning.
-1- You couldn't get the color because of an typo.
use his:
RGBcolorValue = PictureBox1.Point(x, y)
-2-
Now you want to get the colorvalues of all pixels, is that correct?

[junlo]

yes, now i need to get the color values of all pixels and save it in plain text.
format for plain text is like the below:
100.67719000 4.01361000;1.5
100.65643000 4.01546000;7

column one is the pixel x value which have been transfer to longitude value
column two is the pixel y value which have been transfer to latitude value
column three is the RGBcolor which have been transfer to depth value.

[opus]

OK, so use two For next loop's to get each pixel of your PictureBox1,
change the pixel-value to the coordinate value (you got the code in the old threat) and save those values along with the colorvalue of that picture!
Something like:

For i=1 to PictureBox1.ScaleWidth
   For j=1 to PictureBox1.ScaleHeight
      'Change i to Longitude
      'Change j o Latitude
      ColorValue=PictureBox.Point(i,j)
      'Write Latitude, Longitude, Color to your file
   Next j
Next i

The actual coding should be no problem now

BTW : You didn't expect me to do all of your work, didn't you
