Rotated Region

[liquid8]

There may be a bit of math involved in this, or maybe there is an easier way... If I have a rotated string or a rotated picture with GDI, how can I determine the exact region of it.. normally if it isn't rotated you can just use:

 

New Rectangle(me.left,me.top,me.height,me.width)

 

I haven't dabbled with graphics paths yet.. would that make things easier?

 

Thanks,

If you're searching just for the bounding rectangle it is simple:

 

Do a loop on each vertex, take the upper-left, the upper-right, the bottom-left and the bottom-right.

 

yes... too simple :) was this the question?
