It looks reasonable, but there is an easier way to convert from cartesian to polar (the magnitude and direction). In the palette under Programming >> Numeric >> Complex choose "Re/Im to Polar". This VI does all that math internally. The output is in radians, so you still need the conversion to degrees.

In the next update there will also be a VI that takes cartesian inputs so you can wire your joystick up directly.

As for the poor resolution, you should use jpg or png, not bmp. bmp is basically just a raw image with no compression.
