Description

This program allows you to open and view image files including JPEG, GIF, WMF and other images. Program also provides options to stretch and shrink them, rotate at different angles through all axes and save them in different formats.

This example uses menus, radio buttons, group boxes, open and save dialog boxes, picture box and status bar controls.
