A collection of PathFigure objects that describe the contents of a path. Each individual PathFigure describes a shape.

Dependency property identifier field: FiguresProperty

The XAML syntax for Figures is an example of an implicit collection syntax, where you can omit the PathFigureCollection object element, as well as the PathGeometry.Figures property element. Instead, you generally include one or more PathFigure object elements as child elements of a PathGeometry. For more information about XAML implicit collection syntax, see XAML Overview.

Note Note:

Explicitly including a PathFigureCollection object element is permissible XAML syntax, and it might be useful if you intend to name the collection in XAML and manipulate its contents through script later. Including the PathGeometry.Figures property element might also be useful for markup clarity, because of the nested Figures and Segments collections found in a typical complex PathGeometry.

Doesn't work in Silverlight 2
<PathGeometry Figures="M 286, xxxx....." />

The syntax above does not work in SL2. However <Path Data="M 286, xxxx......" /> does work, but this isn't much good if you're trying to create a clip region in the shape of your company logo which requires a class derived from Geometry.

STOP PRESS - The following XAML does work:

<Rectangle Clip="M 286, xxxx......" [...] />
