SantomaniaAddy Santo's occasional braindumpsGDI + LINQ = Generate a bar graph in a single line of code- January 23, 2006 This is a simplified version of actual code from an app I'm working on. There are a few lines of setup, and then the cool part (the last statement): Using a select statement to iterate over a List<double>, creating a RectangleF object for each value, packaging them all into an Array, and passing the array to the FillRectangles method of the Graphics object.
