Interactive Graphics on a Web page
-
Hi All looking for suggestions and advice. I need a web page where I can allow a user to select a shape from a list of available shapes, and drag and drop this on to an area of the screen. (this will include lots of secret stuff as well) I have considered Flash SVG GDI OpenGL DirectX Flash seems the best option so far in that it's better protected than SVG, which is open as far as I can see. GDI does not seem to have a great deal of interactivity in it. And I don't have sufficient knowledge of OpenGL or DirectX. The only proglem with Flash is I have to learn how to use macromedia. Any advice, suggestions or links to useful pages are greatly appreciated. Thanks Col

DirectX and OpenGL won't work for an Asp.NET page. Take a look at www.google.com/ig Create a free account, and check it out, you can move all kinds of stuff around. You can use GDI on the backend for dynamic image creation.

Hi Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like dragging the HTML elements around is accomplished by javascript and layers. (like pop ups) Two problems with this approach. 1. its javascript so not that secure. 2. it only works on HTML elements. To clarify. I need it to be secure and be able to drag graphics like images, circles squares etc, on to a background Thanks

Right, but on an html page an image is an html element. You can obfuscate JavaScript code also, but if that's unacceptable, then the only solution I see is using Flash.
