Vector Structure

A Point represents a fixed position, but a Vector represents a direction and a magnitude (for example, velocity or acceleration). Thus, the endpoints of a line segment are points but their difference is a vector; that is, the direction and length of that line segment.

In XAML, the delimiter between the X and Y values of a Vector can be either a comma or a space.

Some cultures might use the comma character as the decimal delimiter instead of the period character. XAML processing for invariant culture defaults to en-US in most XAML processor implementations, and expects the period to be the decimal delimiter. You should avoid using the comma character as the decimal delimiter if specifying a Vector in XAML, because that will clash with the string type conversion of a Vector attribute value into the X and Y components.

The following example shows how to add two Vector structures.

// Adds a Vector to a Vector using the overloaded + operator.  

Vector vector1 = new Vector(20, 30);
Vector vector2 = new Vector(45, 70);
Vector vectorResult = new Vector();


// vectorResult is equal to (65,100)
vectorResult = vector1 + vector2;
