[2005] Best Strategy For Drawing a Point On A Graph

[neef]

I have made a pretty fancy graph image in Photoshop and would like to use it as a background image of a Panel. That's easy enough but now I'm not sure how to place points marking data inside or over the background image. Whenever I draw a point it seems to be underneath the background image. When I erase the image the stuff I draw is there but I can't get the image and the creategraphics methods in Paint to work together.

My question then is how can you, using creategraphics, draw over a background image? Is it better just to draw the graph with creategraphics members and trash the bitmap?

Thanx!

You don't use CreateGraphics at all, so you must being doing it wrong. Follow the Simple Drawing link in my signature to see how to draw on a control. I'd suggest using a PictureBox with its Image property set, rather than a Panel with its BackgroundImage set.

I fixed this using e.graphics. I was a little rusty after a long layoff from programming.

Thanx!
