concat two bitmaps?

is there anyway to connect to bitmaps together?
basically, I have a program that generates a graph as it runs, and I can
capture an image of the graph, but is there a way to take two captures, and
join them together so it looks like one big graph?

Well, what you would do is create a new image with dimensions big enough to
fit both of the smaller ones, create a Graphics objects from the destination
image, and then use the source objects to draw the source images on the
graphics from the destination image in the desired spots. Of course, all
this accomplishes is setting the two images next to each other; anything
requiring an actual change to the source images would be infinitely more
complicated to implement. Any questions?

I just noticed Christopher replied. But here's some code that should
do the trick:
(note, there's a lot of scaling, rotating, etc. you can do in the
gr.DrawImage).
Bitmap bmp1 = new Bitmap(@"C:\win dows\Coffee Bean.bmp");
Bitmap bmp2 = new Bitmap(@"C:\win dows\Soap Bubbles.bmp");
int width = bmp1.Width + bmp2.Width;
int height = Math.Max(bmp1.H eight, bmp2.Height);
Bitmap fullBmp = new Bitmap(width, height);
Graphics gr = Graphics.FromIm age(fullBmp);
gr.DrawImage (bmp1, 0, 0, bmp1.Width, bmp1.Height);
gr.DrawImage (bmp2, bmp1.Width, 0);
fullBmp.Save( blah );

Does anyone know if there is a reason to prefer bitmaps over icons (or vice-versa) when populating image lists? I've always favored icons because of their built-in transparency (although I've never use the invert "color"). But I've noticed that Microsoft seems to favor bitmaps in many of their sample applications. Is there a reason? For instance, do icons clutter the icon cache or require more system resources whereas bitmaps do not? ...

I have a dialog box and on it I want to display a bitmap, which will change at various times during the program. My problem is that the bitmaps will not be the same each time.

The bitmaps will always be called the same thing, ie 1.bmp, 2.bmp, 3.bmp - but they will be different pictures. I am new to visual...

Hello, I'm needing some advice: I have an app for which I've built a timer out of multiple bitmaps--a clock with a moving hands. I've saved each hand position (1 second, 2 seconds, etc.) as a separate bitmap, and I make the clock "tic" down by changing the image of a picture box. The problem, of course, is that the application uses tons of memory, because each of the bitmaps is preloaded into an array. Is there an easier way to do...

Hello everybody. I am drawing a country map that consists of 149 municipality bitmaps, each around 25 Kb. I draw it onto the in-memory bitmap, then draw it on the picture box. I use C++, but anyways if I were using the C# the question would be the same. And here is the problem: it takes 700 ms to draw it, and anything above 300 ms is noticable by the human eye. So, is there any technique that I could use to actually keep the bitmaps in...
