Introduction:

I was asked recently where on the site one should go to find a basic introduction to graphics programming in VB, and I realised that there was nothing that really covered the basics; things that once you’re messing around with more advanced things you tend to take for granted (And indeed I had done in my other tutorials on the subject.) As such I’m writing this tutorial with no assumed knowledge (Hopefully) apart from a very basic knowledge of VB programming.
