do you know where on the net could i find that kind of program in whatever
language, maybe c. sure somebody has done it already. which keywords would
you use when searching for it?

how do i do that?
how do i draw lines directly to bitmap and then draw that bitmap to dc.
i only know how to copy dc to bitmap, copy screen image to bitmap and back
but not directly to bitmap and then to screen.
is pixmap=bitmap?
regular line with width 1 would be to thick, i think
