Ok i am completely stumped. if it is at all possible, i want to turn a normal rectangular image into a new shape, specifically a trapezium.

000000000 000000
000000000 0000000
000000000 > 00000000 i know very poor demonstration.
000000000 000000000
000000000 0000000000

I can manged this in a normal graphical program but i was wondering if it was at all possible to do this in VB.

I am not very experienced with complex code, and got completely stumped when looking at using directx, which i believed was a possible route to create such an image. I have looked into the use of GetPixel and SetPixel etc. but not found any way to actually turn an image into a trapezium shape.

thanx for any help anyone can give.

You can use Strecthblt with Masking to achieve this. Please check out post #4 on this thread:

It has screenshots and a link to a zip attachment.

The technique can be modified to "warp" a rectangular bitmap into any type/size/shape trapezoid image...
