Hi, for my C++ class we need to make a simple house and tree using the dbLine function. Is there an easy way to know where to place your coordinates so they will show up correctly instead of just guessing? Thank you and hopefully somebody can help me out.

You could dbText(0,0,dbMousePositionX());

Then move your mouse to where you want it. I dont have a copy of the dark gdk command set so i cant tell you the actual commands. But just look them up in the help file.

or you could just write a simple drawing program using the dbLine.

One click to start a line, and one click to end the line. While you are drawing the program saves the info in a text file for you, and you could even make the program load the file and render from it instead of hard coding the values.

Erm...all depends.

But there is always math. We know that 0,0 is the top left corner, and the bottom right corner is x,y where x is the screen/window width and y is the height in pixles.

Its pretty simple to get the values for each point on the screen based on points you already use, and such, or by guessing. A vertical line that is 200 long and is 100 pix from the left and bottom edges of the screen would be: [100,(x-300)] & [100,(x-100)] where x=screen height.

Here is a basic example I just wrote.
It only took about 10 seconds so it's just for learning



Hope it is of some use.
