I want to draw a very soft line in vb6
where u want to draw a line inclined with 30 degree on the horizontal it is not be soft can help>

Hi,
What do you mean by a "soft line", using Radians and pythag, it's quite easy to draw a line at any angle. There are loads of theories on it (especially when optimising graphics).
E.g.
Using SOHCAHTOA maths:
for Point (x,y)
Target point (i,y) at 30 units long, at 30 deg from vertical is:

dim rads as single

rads = 180 ' a radion is a 0.5*pi(? check with the other programmers)

dim degs as single
degs = rads / 6

dim h as single
h = 30

dim i as single, j as single

i = sin(degs)/h
j = sin(degs)*h

Hope this helps (my math is a bit rusty)

PS. Search for "line drawing algorithms" in google for more

Thanks
I mean by soft that the line be smoothed
try to plot line in paintBrush program , Horizontal,vertical and inclined and note the diference between them .
I want a very simple algoritm or program .

Function PI() As Double
PI = 4 * Atn(1#)
