Graphics in C#
Experts,
I`m using VS2008, C# 3.5
Given a List of spatial co-ordinates [X, Y and Z]. How do you draw the underlying shape in a C# application. I do realize there is a lot of Math involved. I`m still in the planning phase, so directions and suggestions will be greatly appreciated before I start out. Should I be using some kind of Graphics package? Are they drawn on a regular Panel. Examples of code will be welcome, even a simple cube or a triangle. I first have to get the idea of how its done, and then I can work on the more complex stuff.
Thanks,
San

@jdavistx _ Thanks for the help. For now, I`m using GDI+. Once I have the basics right I can move to a different more complex platform.
Well, when I started off, WPF was an option - but I need to show wire meshes - connecting lines and WPF doesn`t support this. So, I had to chuck this option.

You can but you`ll have to use resources outside the framework - like using _3DTools;, and right now I don`t want go that way.

I have basic understanding of how graphics work. What is GDI+ and DirectX and all? Should I be looking into it. At some point I will have to animate it.
