Create gradient .jpg

[dakota97]

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to create a new .jpg file from 2 colors that a user selects in a WinForms app?

 

What I want to do is give the user an option to select 2 colors using a colorpicker. When they click "save", I want to create a new 1px wide by 1050px high gradient style image to be used as a webpage background, and save it so that it can be uploaded to a web server via FTP. The uploading I can handle, but I need to know if there's a way to create the image file.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

-Chris

The following should get you started

          LinearGradientBrush b = new LinearGradientBrush(new Rectangle(0,0,100,100),Color.Red, Color.Blue, 45f );
           Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(100,100);
           Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
           g.FillRectangle(b,0,0,100,100);
           bmp.Save("c:\\test.bmp");
