how to generate points

I  used visual basic before in excel to do calculations. I have now to use it to make pictures! I have to generate points (a regular pattern)  and I would like to know how to make a grid thing and then to put points inside (measures in pixels).
I also don't know if this will be the best way or if it would be better to use C or C++ or Fortran or S-Plus ...
hope this not to be asking too much.
Thanks

This example shows how to set pixels of a picture box control to random colours. Just put a picture box and a command button on a form.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    With Picture1
        For intRow = 0 To .Height Step 10
            For intCol = 0 To .Width Step 10
                Picture1.PSet (intCol, intRow), RGB(Int(Rnd() * 256), Int(Rnd() * 256), Int(Rnd() * 256))
            Next
        Next
    End With
End Sub
