XAML Values

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Media.PathFigureCollection
A collection of PathFigure objects that describe the contents of a path. Each individual PathFigure describes a shape.

Remarks

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.

NoteNote:

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.
