LLoyd, your solution would work out, if not that: 1) I have an
application to draw (like a diagram thing), this application is
perfect but dumps result into that xmlns file... I am just simply
trying to read it back into some GIF file....

That is the point. You have a file with instuctions on how to
create
the
graphic. So the aspx file would take the filename as a querystring
and
then
create the graphic (could be a gif) and pass that to the repsonse.
In
reality that is what is being done with a straight gif URL.

ok, so I need a script that will "read" xmlns file and create an
image
file according to content.
Rather than having every function being rewritten by myself, I am
looking for a library (script) that already does that....

Where do you get these files from? It looks like (but I know it
isn't)
a
metafile with commands used to draw images. Googling I find a Scilab
graphics class. Does your app have a reference to this. If so I
would
think there might be methods in the class library which would take
the
info
and draw a graphic.

And not to be a traffic cop here but deleting part of the thread
makes
responding difficult for me and most likely impossible for others
who
join
late.

I am sorry for not providing you more info. I need a simple "map"
drawing functionality and this resource is a perfect
solution:http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_net_drawing_framework.html

the only problem is that this outputs PIC XMLserialize file instead of
a GIF/PNG file which I am trying to achieve...

Thank you.

Have you downloaded the framework that is pointed at in the web page?
If
so
is there a method to draw the graphics? The first method on the page
mentions a Draw routine which takes a Graphics object as a parameter..
In
the sample I provided you will notice that it uses a Graphics object
to
draw
on.

A combination of the two should do the job.

they would... but it does not use Graphics object... it use
XMLSerialize to write into file and back from it only coordinance of
each objects... it is not a picture, it is a group of XML serialized
shapes... :(

Is there no implementation of the Draw method in the framework?- Hide

unfortunately no :(

Since I don't know what you want to do with those files I guess this is as
far as I can take you.

that's simple I just want to save them into GIF format, but I need a
little help showing me how to extract photo data from that
XMLSerialize document...
hope that make sense...

From what I see there is only a rectangle.  It seems to have the coordinates
of the upper left corner and bottom right corner, along with the width of
the line to be drawn and various colour information.  I would hope that the
framework you are using has documentation for the various pieces.

What you would get is a rectangle which I think by itsself is just that.

You have two tasks.  First to extract the info and second to draw.

I suggest you read up on XML first.  That will extract your info.  Without
knowing what the schema of the XML is I can't help much here but there is
lots of docs on using XML in Dot.Net.

Then you need to investigate the drawing classes.  If all you are doing is
drawing rectangles that is fairly simple.

yes you are right, there is about 10 different shapes.. I guess I will
hate to write my own function how to retreive each value and "redraw"
it again..
thank you for your feedback.
