Computing Z given X and Y

(1/1)

HellOfMice:
I need some help because, I am very good useing math.
The user draws a rectangle with the mouse.
SO I have (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2)

(X1,Y1) are the top left coordinates and
(X2,Y2) are the bottom right coordinates.

I have computed the slope and got the angle.

The rectangle drawn is at (X1,Y1,0)-(X2,Y2,0) but if want to display or to rotate along an axis I need the Z coordinate.

--- End code ---

z = sqrt(x² + y² - 2 * x * y * cos(γ))

This is how I compute the Z.
It is a formula I found somewhere on the internet but I don't know it this is good.

Some help would be welcome.
Thank You / Merci

frankie:
These MS docs about 2D transformations are woth to be read for your needs.
The articles contain a broad discussion of the topics from a mathematical point of view (MS uses matrix algebra). and also the list of GDI library functions that implement the transformations in case you don't want to reinvent the wheel.

HellOfMice:
Thank You Fankie.
I take look.
