> Hi-

> I just started with vb6, so my problem is in all likelyhood very trivial.

> I am trying to create an image with 256 shades of e.g. blue. I use the
line
> methods to create filled boxes , and I call the RGB function for the color
> definition (RGB(0,0,intens). I have checked if the 'intens' parameter

> So if any of you out there have any help it will be much appreciated.
