Graphics Object and DrawLine - Offset a line?

Mel
This is a long shot but here goes... I have a line that may have
several bends (angles) to it. Anyone know of any tips or tricks to
create the same line again but just have it offset from the original
line a small amount?

Example L-Shaped Line:
1" long
90 degree angle
1"long

you don't say which graphics library you using. but normally you'd
create an array of points, darw a polygon, then do a transform of the
point array and draw a second polygon.

I have System.Drawing as a reference. Can you elaborate on how to
"transform" the point array? I am assuming you mean just manually go
through all the points and adjust them accordingly (+ or - depending
on the offset side).

I want to create arrows using lines on a picture in the picture box. On clicking the button "btnShowAll", the image is loaded and the lines drawn. "RGSShowAll()" calls "DrawObjs()" which does the actual drawing work. But after displaying all the arrows in a flick, the arrows disappers. I have debugged and came to know that the "Paint" event of the picturebox is refreshing the image, so the work done on the CreateGraphics created object is...

I wrote a function called Draw_sonar2 that does all the drawing. It usually works but sometimes crashes saying the graphics object is already in use. After digging I saw that I should be doing the Drawing in the PB.paint, not a seperate function....
