Gets a value that indicates whether this instance is currently sealed (read-only).(Inherited from DependencyObject.)

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubmethodApplyAnimationClock(DependencyProperty, AnimationClock)

Applies an AnimationClock to the specified DependencyProperty. If the property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used.(Inherited from Animatable.)

Applies an AnimationClock to the specified DependencyProperty. If the property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used.(Inherited from Animatable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodBeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline)

Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used.(Inherited from Animatable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodBeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline, HandoffBehavior)

Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodCheckAccess()

Determines whether the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject.(Inherited from DispatcherObject.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodClearValue(DependencyProperty)

Clears the local value of a property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyProperty identifier. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodClearValue(DependencyPropertyKey)

Clears the local value of a read-only property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyPropertyKey. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodClone()

Creates a modifiable clone of this Geometry3D, making deep copies of this object's values. When copying dependency properties, this method copies resource references and data bindings (but they might no longer resolve) but not animations or their current values.

System_CAPS_protmethodCloneCore(Freezable)

Makes the instance a clone (deep copy) of the specified Freezable using base (non-animated) property values. (Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodCloneCurrentValue()

Creates a modifiable clone of this Geometry3D object, making deep copies of this object's current values. Resource references, data bindings, and animations are not copied, but their current values are.

System_CAPS_protmethodCloneCurrentValueCore(Freezable)

Makes the instance a modifiable clone (deep copy) of the specified Freezable using current property values.(Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodCoerceValue(DependencyProperty)

Coerces the value of the specified dependency property. This is accomplished by invoking any CoerceValueCallback function specified in property metadata for the dependency property as it exists on the calling DependencyObject.(Inherited from DependencyObject.)

System_CAPS_protmethodCreateInstance()

Initializes a new instance of the Freezable class. (Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_protmethodCreateInstanceCore()

When implemented in a derived class, creates a new instance of the Freezable derived class. (Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodEquals(Object)

Determines whether a provided DependencyObject is equivalent to the current DependencyObject.(Inherited from DependencyObject.)

System_CAPS_protmethodFinalize()

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodFreeze()

Makes the current object unmodifiable and sets its IsFrozen property to true. (Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_protmethodFreezeCore(Boolean)

Makes this Animatable object unmodifiable or determines whether it can be made unmodifiable.(Inherited from Animatable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetAnimationBaseValue(DependencyProperty)

Returns the non-animated value of the specified DependencyProperty.(Inherited from Animatable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetAsFrozen()

Creates a frozen copy of the Freezable, using base (non-animated) property values. Because the copy is frozen, any frozen sub-objects are copied by reference. (Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_protmethodGetAsFrozenCore(Freezable)

Makes the instance a frozen clone of the specified Freezable using base (non-animated) property values.(Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetCurrentValueAsFrozen()

Creates a frozen copy of the Freezable using current property values. Because the copy is frozen, any frozen sub-objects are copied by reference.(Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_protmethodGetCurrentValueAsFrozenCore(Freezable)

Makes the current instance a frozen clone of the specified Freezable. If the object has animated dependency properties, their current animated values are copied.(Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetHashCode()

Gets a hash code for this DependencyObject.(Inherited from DependencyObject.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetLocalValueEnumerator()

Creates a specialized enumerator for determining which dependency properties have locally set values on this DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetValue(DependencyProperty)

Returns the current effective value of a dependency property on this instance of a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)

Ensures that appropriate context pointers are established for a DependencyObjectType data member that has just been set.(Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_protmethodOnFreezablePropertyChanged(DependencyObject, DependencyObject, DependencyProperty)

This member supports the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.(Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_protmethodOnPropertyChanged(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)

Overrides the DependencyObject implementation of OnPropertyChanged to also invoke any Changed handlers in response to a changing dependency property of type Freezable.(Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodReadLocalValue(DependencyProperty)

Returns the local value of a dependency property, if it exists. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)

System_CAPS_protmethodReadPreamble()

Ensures that the Freezable is being accessed from a valid thread. Inheritors of Freezable must call this method at the beginning of any API that reads data members that are not dependency properties.(Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodVerifyAccess()

Enforces that the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject.(Inherited from DispatcherObject.)

System_CAPS_protmethodWritePostscript()

Raises the Changed event for the Freezable and invokes its OnChanged method. Classes that derive from Freezable should call this method at the end of any API that modifies class members that are not stored as dependency properties.(Inherited from Freezable.)

System_CAPS_protmethodWritePreamble()

Verifies that the Freezable is not frozen and that it is being accessed from a valid threading context. Freezable inheritors should call this method at the beginning of any API that writes to data members that are not dependency properties. (Inherited from Freezable.)

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubeventChanged

Occurs when the Freezable or an object it contains is modified. (Inherited from Freezable.)

A Geometry3D by itself has no appearance. To render a Geometry3D, use a GeometryModel3D to combine the Geometry3D with a Material.

MeshGeometry3D is the concrete instance of a Geometry3D. To render a 3D shape, compose a GeometryModel3D by specifying a MeshGeometry3D and a Material.

The following example illustrates how a MeshGeometry3D is combined with a Material using a GeometryModel3D.

XAML
Copy 
<GeometryModel3D>
  <GeometryModel3D.Geometry>
          <MeshGeometry3D 
              Positions="-1 -1 0  1 -1 0  -1 1 0  1 1 0"
              Normals="0 0 1  0 0 1  0 0 1  0 0 1"
              TextureCoordinates="0 1  1 1  0 0  1 0   "
              TriangleIndices="0 1 2  1 3 2" />
      </GeometryModel3D.Geometry>
      <GeometryModel3D.Material>
          <DiffuseMaterial>
              <DiffuseMaterial.Brush>
                  <SolidColorBrush Color="Cyan" Opacity="0.3"/>
              </DiffuseMaterial.Brush>
          </DiffuseMaterial>
      </GeometryModel3D.Material>

          <TranslateTransform3D
            OffsetX="2" OffsetY="0" OffsetZ="-1"   >
          </TranslateTransform3D>
      </GeometryModel3D.Transform>
