---------------------------

FineDraw shows off the power of two of our most useful controls, 
VBX Artist and PicScroll.  

VBX Artist:

VBX Artist is a powerful Visual Basic custom control designed 
for image manipulation.  Simply drag it across the screen and 
paint in any one of a variety of modes:  Pen, Brush, Filled or 
empty rectangle or ellipse, Line, Eraser, Screen Clipper, 
Flood Fill, or Spray Can.  

The code can be complex or as simple as 

	Sub PicScroll_MouseMove (....)
		Art1.Mode= 1 ' selects the pen
		Art1. Drag   ' draws while the mouse is moving
	End Sub

Everything can be controlled via properties from colors (fore, fill and 
back), to brush size, to target window.  You can even set the brush 
mask to that of a small bitmap.  

PicScroll:

PicScroll is our scrollable, zoomable, drop-file aware picture box 
control. Supports scrolling via mouse dragging, scroll bars, or 
programmatic control.  The image may be zoomed in or stretched to fit.

PicScroll may be used as a container control allowing the scrolling of a 
any controls placed within.

PicScroll can even handle metafiles and can be used to display 
individual metafile records.  

PicScroll is "DropFile Aware" and will accept files dragged from other
applications such as file manager.  Events are triggered for each file
dragged allowing the loading of one or more pictures in a slide show, or
with some extra coding, the ability to initiate other actions on 
dropped files.
