Sending graphics developed in a sub to an object

[Les2011]

I am relatively new to working with graphic objects but with the help of people here have gotten a good feel of it. I finished my first part of a project I am working on which runs fine but after looking at my code I thought I might be able to minimize a lot of redundancy if I could build subs or functions that would allow me to build the graphics within the sub and then send the graphics out of the sub to an object which in my case is a picture box on a form. Through my reading in this forum it seems that its preferred to do graphics inside of a panel but I don't understand what the difference is. As an example if I can build lets say text that I can pass to a sub and then do what I have to do with it and then send it out to an object I think that would cut down a lot of my coding. So lets say I have an equation like f(x) = x^2 -3x+5 I would like to be able to send that string to a sub then turn it into a graphic and then send it outside of the sub to my picturebox on my form. If I can understand initially how to get started I think I can figure the rest out.

Thanks in advance,

Les
