You can draw graphics on browser window using Graphics class. This class exists in System.Drawing namespace. It provide different types of graphics methods, such as DrawArc, DrawImage, DrawIcon, DrawLine and many more. Graphics class hold pen instance for creating graphics onto the screen.
Step-2 : Create instance of Graphics class and initialize with Bitmap class instance.
Step-3 : Create Pen class object with specified color and width.
Step-4 : Create starting point and ending point using Point class.
Step-5 : Draw graphics and save into Bitmap instance.

Algorithm Behind the drawing
Step-1 : First define the graphics area on browser window using Bitmap class.Step-2 : Create instance of Graphics class and initialize with Bitmap class instance.
Step-3 : Create Pen class object with specified color and width.
Step-4 : Create starting point and ending point using Point class.
Step-5 : Draw graphics and save into Bitmap instance.
Lets take an simple example of drawing Line , Rectangle in asp.net
