moving a line at a certain angle

[abdul]

I am drawing a stickman's body using "Line" tool. I have a function that can also move the body to a certain angle (90 degs is a straight line). Now, how the do I get the ending x and y positions of the line according to the angle?
Does anybody have some code that take the starting x and positions, and the angle to which move the line, and then it gives me the ending x and y positions?

its time for you to learn some TRIG
look into Cos, Tan, Sin and inverseof those

oh noooooooooooooo......



















I don't know anything about them

[abdul]

anybody else????

Did you try posting your question in the Graphics and Game Programming section? It would seem to me that more folks that would know how to do what you need would be found there. (The only lines I've ever used were the line control from the standard toolbox )

I am using Turing to do that but the basic stuff (cos, sin...) is the same
I have now posted that in Graphics forum

Here's a little function I've just written:

Private Sub DrawAngledLine(Angle As Long, Length As Single, Centre As PointAPI) As PointAPI
Dim Rad As Single
Rad = (PI / 180) * Angle
DrawAngledLine.X = Round(Centre.X + Cos(Rad) * Length)
DrawAngledLine.Y = Round(Centre.Y + Sin(Rad) * Length)
End Sub

I believe that should work for your purposes.

Thanks a lot Sastraxi
That's exactly what I was looking for. I had to just change it a bit to make it work in turing but its function does exactly what I need. Now I'll start working on my stickman again...

Thanks again
