CombinedGeometry Class

Definition

Represents a 2-D geometric shape defined by the combination of two Geometry objects.

public ref class CombinedGeometry sealed : System::Windows::Media::Geometry
public sealed class CombinedGeometry : System.Windows.Media.Geometry
type CombinedGeometry = class
    inherit Geometry
Public NotInheritable Class CombinedGeometry
Inherits Geometry
Inheritance

Remarks

The GeometryCombineMode property specifies how the two geometries will be combined. Note that CombinedGeometry combines the area specified by two geometries, so geometries that do not have area (such as LineGeometry) disappear when combined.

Geometries can be combined in several ways: using a GeometryGroup, a CombinedGeometry, or the Combine method of the Geometry class.

Careful thought should be involved when using a CombinedGeometry to perform a union as it can be very CPU-expensive. In most cases, a GeometryGroup or AddGeometry will work better.

Use a CombinedGeometry only when any of the following apply:

  • The geometric operation is not a union.

  • Either of the geometries have a FillRule value of EvenOdd and the geometries are self-intersecting (i.e. the FillRule actually matters).

  • Time is not a concern, but space is (for instance, if the geometry is created once and then cached). Typically, CombinedGeometry produces smaller output than AddGeometry.

  • The resulting geometry will be stroked or used in a path animation and AddGeometry does not provide the desired outline.

Makes the instance a modifiable clone (deep copy) of the specified Freezable using current property values.

(Inherited from Freezable)
