Example of using Word VBA graphics drawing library
using GDI32 instructions
Display of an atomic orbital - Draw with PointSet
According to the electron density value of each grid point, the gradation of RGB color is changed in 256 steps to display the point.
The drawing speed is very fast compared to the case of using AddShape instructions. There is no problem with increasing the number of grid points.
Procedure
- Copy the source program of graphics drawing library by GDI32 instructions and paste to Module 2.
- Insert a command button on the slide and write the procedure for displaying the form.
- Insert a user form. The size of the user form should be larger than Viewport.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() UserForm1.Show End Sub
- Insert a command button into Form
- Write a CALL statement for displaying atomic orbitals in the CommandButton1_Click procedure.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() DrawAOMap End Sub
- Fill in Module 1 with procedures to obtain device context and display atomic orbitals.
Sub Draw_AOMap() ' Get device context handle monhdc = GetForegroundWindow() myhdc = GetDC(monhdc) If myhdc = 0 Then Exit Sub ' Draw contour map of atomic orbitals by H.

Execution
- Run the slide show and click the button to display the form.
- Click the button to call the procedure to calculate and display the atomic orbitals.
