This example shows you how to draw lines by using the Line element.
To draw a line, create a Line element. Use its X1 and Y1 properties to set its start point; and use its X2 and Y2 properties to set its end point. Finally, set its Stroke and StrokeThickness because a line without a stroke is invisible.
Setting the Fill element for a line has no effect, because a line has no interior.
The following example draws three lines inside a Canvas element.
<Canvas Height="300" Width="300"> <!-- Draws a diagonal line from (10,10) to (50,50). --> <Line X1="10" Y1="10" X2="50" Y2="50" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="4" /> <!-- Draws a diagonal line from (10,10) to (50,50) and moves it 100 pixels to the right. --> <Line X1="10" Y1="10" X2="50" Y2="50" StrokeThickness="4" Canvas.Left="100"> <Line.Stroke> <RadialGradientBrush GradientOrigin="0.5,0.5" Center="0.5,0.5" RadiusX="0.5" RadiusY="0.5"> <RadialGradientBrush.GradientStops> <GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="0" /> <GradientStop Color="Blue" Offset="0.25" /> </RadialGradientBrush.GradientStops> </RadialGradientBrush> </Line.Stroke> </Line> <!-- Draws a horizontal line from (10,60) to (150,60). --> <Line X1="10" Y1="60" X2="150" Y2="60" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="4"/> </Canvas>
