DrawSkewImage – skewing an image by a given amount along one or both axes

' Skew an image by a given amount along one or both axes (the dx and dy ' parameters)' The x and y parameters are the coordinates of the upper-left point' Note: requires Imports System.Drawing.Imaging'' Example:'   Dim gr As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics'   gr.Clear(Color.White)'   Dim bmp As New Bitmap("logo.bmp")'   DrawSkewImage(gr, bmp, 100, 400, -50, 0)'   DrawSkewImage(gr, bmp, 300, 400, 0, 50)'   DrawSkewImage(gr, bmp, 500, 400, -50, 50)'   bmp.Dispose()'   gr.Dispose()Sub DrawSkewImage(ByVal gr As Graphics, ByVal bmp As Bitmap, ByVal x As Single, _    ByVal y As Single, ByVal dx As Single, ByVal dy As Single)    ' Find the position of (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
