A PathGeometry is made up of one or more figures, represented by the PathFigure class. Each figure is itself made up of one or more segments, defined by the PathSegment class.
This example shows how to create a line segment. To create a line segment, use the PathGeometry, PathFigure, and LineSegment classes.
The following examples draw a LineSegment from (10, 50) to (200, 70). The following illustration shows the resulting LineSegment; a grid background was added to show the coordinate system.
A LineSegment drawn from (10,50) to (200,700)
In Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), you may use attribute syntax to describe a path.
<Path Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" Data="M 10,50 L 200,70" />
(Note that this attribute syntax actually creates a StreamGeometry, a lighter-weight version of a PathGeometry. For more information, see the Path Markup Syntax page.)
In XAML, you may also draw a line segment by using object element syntax. The following is equivalent to the previous XAML example.
PathFigure myPathFigure = new PathFigure(); myPathFigure.StartPoint = new Point(10, 50); LineSegment myLineSegment = new LineSegment(); myLineSegment.Point = new Point(200, 70); PathSegmentCollection myPathSegmentCollection = new PathSegmentCollection(); myPathSegmentCollection.Add(myLineSegment); myPathFigure.Segments = myPathSegmentCollection; PathFigureCollection myPathFigureCollection = new PathFigureCollection(); myPathFigureCollection.Add(myPathFigure); PathGeometry myPathGeometry = new PathGeometry(); myPathGeometry.Figures = myPathFigureCollection; Path myPath = new Path(); myPath.Stroke = Brushes.Black; myPath.StrokeThickness = 1; myPath.Data = myPathGeometry;
<Path Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1"> <Path.Data> <PathGeometry> <PathFigure StartPoint="10,50"> <LineSegment Point="200,70" /> </PathFigure> </PathGeometry> </Path.Data> </Path>

To display the resulting geometry, use a Path element, or use it with a GeometryDrawing or a DrawingContext. In the following examples, a cubic Bezier curve is drawn from (10, 100) to (300, 100). The curve has control points of (100, 0) and (200, 200). |
