Scale images and save them in C#
Occasionally when I’m writing a book or article, I need to scale images and then save them. MS Paint does this easily, but it loses any transparency information when it saves images. This program lets you scale images and then … Continue reading
Make shaped PictureBoxes in C#
This example shows how to use regions to make shaped PictureBoxes. The PNG image format allows you to define transparent pixels. As you might guess, if you draw an image with transparent pixels, those pixels are not drawn and whatever … Continue reading

Warp images arbitrarily in C#, Part 1
This is an extension of the example Use image filters to perform edge detection, smoothing, embossing, and more in C# that adds new features that warp images in arbitrary ways. The idea is to use two functions F(x, y) and … Continue reading

Compare fuel efficiency in different units in C#
People in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and several other places measure a car’s fuel efficiency in miles per gallon. As you might expect, countries that use the metric system may measure fuel efficiency in kilometers per liter, … Continue reading
Compare car costs including long term mileage in C#
This example calculates the total car costs including gas use. Some cars that seem less expensive than others actually cost more in the long run because they get worse gas mileage. Enter the total number of city and highway miles … Continue reading
