read coordinates from text files.

[Dj Still]

how can i read from a text files and use the coordinates to draw lines on a picture.

in the text files values are like thsi

34343
676.4545
343.343434
434.33434
676.6767

in that the first value would be x second value y third valus x1 and fort y1, i use use a loop to get it but my program keep crashing

read files

loop statement

picture1.line(x,y)-(x1-y2)

end loop

the file is attached
please help me

Are you using VB6 or VB.Net

Where is your code?

Why did I put a line under my post above...this forum software telling me my message too short that it have to be 20 characters or more...why we promoting inefficiencies?

Why do you need the code hassanvoyeau. All you need to know is what technology he is running and then you could provide your code that is best fit with it.

What i want to know is if he is doing this in .Net or VB6 so i could send him the best code effecient code.

How are single values used as coordinates,
Is it
x
y
x2
y2
??
Otherwise I'm not sure what you are trying to do.

Recursion - It looks like that's how the file is set up. Each part of the coordinate is on different lines.

I hope he has plans of putting error checks in the code in case the file doesn't have all the needed coordinates.

I not going to spoon feed he. I prefer to show him what wrong with what he doing. Better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

[recursion]

Well the file contains an even number of inputs so I guess that assumption could hold. His sample contains an odd number though, hmmmmmmm

that may very well be the problem there are 26 lines in the file...not a multiple of 4

unless u going to assume usage of the last point to join each line segment

x
y
x2
y2
x3
y3
x4
y4
...

to draw

(x,y)-(x2,y2)
(x2,y2)-(x3,y3)
(x3,y3)-(x4,y4)
(x4,y4)-...

totally agree!

read data points

last point <- snag out first point

loop for points existing
	next point <- snag out another point

	line from last point to next point

	last point = next point 
end loop
