Graphs in C#

Cartesian Plane

The Cartesian Plane is the usual graph surface we are taught in school.
It consists of the x and y axes.

In C#, drawing is done using the System.Drawing library.

With C#, drawing is usually done in the paint method of a window form or picture box.

However, there is a subtle difference between the way we use graphs and the C# windows form:
The y-axis of the C# windows form is measured from the top and increases as you move downwards.

Drawing on the C# Form

In C#, the Window's Form would represent something like a graph book; and this graph book is plotted or drawn on using code.

Create a new C# Windows Forms Application project ; call it Dymetric_CS.

Type out the adjoining C# algorithm to see what the windows form looks like.

C# code for Form Class

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Dymetric_CS
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Set window position, width and height
            Rectangle screen_rect = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds;
            this.SetDesktopBounds(0, 0, screen_rect.Width, screen_rect.Height);

            // Set a display text
            this.Text = "usingMaths.com";

            // Set a background colour
            this.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Orange;

            // Set an icon image
            String path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase);
            path = new Uri(path).LocalPath;
            try
            {
                this.Icon = new Icon(path + "\\usingMaths.ico");
            }
            catch(System.IO.FileNotFoundException ex)
            {
                // Well, just go on and use default pic
            }

        }
    }
}

Important: Get the logo image(.ico) used in the code here and save it to the same folder(directory) as your code files.
For Visual Studio, this folder should be C:\Users\user_name\Documents\Visual Studio 20**\Projects\Dymetric_VB\Dymetric_VB\bin\Debug.
