Constructors

Properties

Constructors

The SkewTransform class has these constructors.

Constructor	Description
SkewTransform	Initializes a new instance of the SkewTransform class.

Methods

The SkewTransform class has these methods. It also inherits methods from the Object class.

Method	Description
ClearValue	Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetAnimationBaseValue	Returns any base value established for a dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetValue	Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ReadLocalValue	Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetValue	Sets the local value of a dependency property on a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
TransformBounds	Transforms the specified bounding box and returns an axis-aligned bounding box that is exactly large enough to contain it. (Inherited from GeneralTransform)
TransformBoundsCore	Provides the means to override the TransformBounds behavior in a derived transform class. (Inherited from GeneralTransform)
TransformPoint	Transforms the specified point and returns the result. (Inherited from GeneralTransform)
TryTransform	Attempts to transform the specified point and returns a value that indicates whether the transformation was successful. (Inherited from GeneralTransform)
TryTransformCore	Provides the means to override the TryTransform behavior in a derived transform class. (Inherited from GeneralTransform)

Properties

The SkewTransform class has these properties.

Property	Access type	Description
AngleX	Read/write	Gets or sets the x-axis skew angle, which is measured in degrees counterclockwise from the y-axis.
AngleXProperty	Read-only	Identifies the AngleX dependency property.
AngleY	Read/write	Gets or sets the y-axis skew angle, which is measured in degrees counterclockwise from the x-axis.
AngleYProperty	Read-only	Identifies the AngleY dependency property.
CenterX	Read/write	Gets or sets the x-coordinate of the transform center.
CenterXProperty	Read-only	Identifies the CenterX dependency property.
CenterY	Read/write	Gets or sets the y-coordinate of the transform center.
CenterYProperty	Read-only	Identifies the CenterY dependency property.
Dispatcher	Read-only	Gets the CoreDispatcher that this object is associated with. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
Inverse	Read-only	Gets the inverse transformation of this GeneralTransform, if possible. (Inherited from GeneralTransform)
InverseCore	Read-only	Implements the behavior for return value of Inverse in a derived or custom GeneralTransform. (Inherited from GeneralTransform)

Examples

This example uses a SkewTransform to skew text. A skew, also known as a shear, is a transformation that stretches the coordinate space in a non-uniform manner. In this example, the two text strings are skewed -30 degrees and 30 degrees along the x-coordinate.

XAML


<Canvas Margin="30">
    <!-- Skew the text using a SkewTransform. -->
    <TextBlock FontSize="32"
               FontWeight="Bold" 
               Foreground="Maroon"
               Text="Skewed Text">
        <TextBlock.RenderTransform>
            <SkewTransform AngleX="-30" AngleY="0" />
        </TextBlock.RenderTransform>
    </TextBlock>

    <TextBlock Canvas.Top="60"
               FontSize="32"
               FontWeight="Bold" 
               Foreground="Maroon"
               Text="Skewed Text">
        <TextBlock.RenderTransform>
            <SkewTransform AngleX="30" AngleY="0" />
        </TextBlock.RenderTransform>
    </TextBlock>
</Canvas>

This next example shows how to increase the AngleX property value of a SkewTransform applied to a Rectangle every time the Rectangle is clicked.
