Re: Smooth lines in Picturebox

I would work in Pixels

OK, how do I do that?

Wrote a dll to make graphs from 2-D arrays.
It simply is a form with a picturebox and the lines are drawn like this:

Picture1.Line ((ColOffset + sFirstXWidth / 2) + _
(.Width - (ColOffset + sFirstXWidth)) *
arrDatePercs(i), FirstPoint)- _
((ColOffset + sFirstXWidth / 2) + _
(.Width - (ColOffset + sFirstXWidth)) *
arrDatePercs(i + 1), _
SecondPoint), _
LineColour

All working very well, except the lines are bit jagged.
Any suggestions how to get nice, smooth lines?
Would I need the API for this?
Speedwise I don't need that as it very fast as it is.

I would work in Pixels, they are native to what is really going on,
also I've had strange differences in output on different machines
while using Twips.

I'm not sure that the APIs will give you a better result, things
always boil down to Pixels
