ICS 3M The Paint
Program

Design
a simple paint program. Your program will allow the user to use the mouse to draw
a simple picture, and allow the user to save this as a jpg file. At the basic
level your program must allow the user to use the mouse to place small Jpegs
on the picture (like the kid pix stamp).
The screen should look something like:
Draw-IT
Where
the small boxes are used to select the bitmap to use. The large box is the
drawing canvas. It should start out white. When the user clicks on the canvas
the program will place the selected bitmap on the canvas.
Saving from the screen
The
procedure you will use to save a portion of the screen is in the Pic object. It
is:
Pic.ScreenSave(x1,y1,x2,y2,filename)
Where (x1,y1) (x2,y2) is
the area on the screen you want to save to the file filename.
When to activate the save and load it is up to you. The simplest way would be to load from a set file at the beginning of the program, and save back to it at the end of the program. Better solutions (more marks) involve allowing the user to click on a button and then enter the name for the file they want to save or load.
Other Features
This
program is unlike the previous programs that you have done. This is a real program. You will be
expected to do a lot of work. You will
also be expected to hand in an individual program. It is extremely important that you understand your entire
program. I will quiz you on it if I am
not convinced that it is all yours. The
description given above is a basis for your program. To get perfect you will have to advance this with extra
features. The extras you add are up to
you. Some suggestions are:
1. When one of the small pictures is clicked on indicate it is selected by drawing a green box around it.
2. Add the ability to draw other shapes like star, box, line.
3. Allow users to change the colours of what they draw.
4. Allow for erasing.
