The following example shows how to create a Path element and set its properties by using code. For the complete sample, see WPF Shapes Gallery Sample.
' Add a Path Element Dim myPath As New Path() myPath.Stroke = Brushes.Black myPath.Fill = Brushes.MediumSlateBlue myPath.StrokeThickness = 4 myPath.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left myPath.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center Dim myEllipseGeometry As New EllipseGeometry() myEllipseGeometry.Center = New System.Windows.Point(50, 50) myEllipseGeometry.RadiusX = 25 myEllipseGeometry.RadiusY = 25 myPath.Data = myEllipseGeometry myGrid.Children.Add(myPath)

| How to: Create a LineSegment in a PathGeometry | This example shows how to create a line segment. To create a line segment, use the PathGeometry, PathFigure, and LineSegment classes. |
| How to: Create an Elliptical Arc | This example shows how to draw an elliptical arc. To create an elliptical arc, use the PathGeometry, PathFigure, and ArcSegment classes. |
| How to: Create a Cubic Bezier Curve | This example shows how to create a cubic Bezier curve. To create a cubic Bezier curve, use the PathGeometry, PathFigure, and BezierSegment classes. 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). |
| How to: Create a Composite Shape | This example shows how to create composite shapes using Geometry objects and display them using a Path element. In the following example, a LineGeometry, EllipseGeometry, and a RectangleGeometry are used with a GeometryGroup to create a composite shape. The geometries are then drawn using a Path element. |
| How to: Create a Shape by Using a PathGeometry | This example shows how to create a shape using the PathGeometry class. PathGeometry objects are composed of one or more PathFigure objects; each PathFigure represents a different "figure" or shape. Each PathFigure is itself composed of one or more PathSegment objects, each representing a connected portion of the figure or shape. Segment types include LineSegment, ArcSegment, and BezierSegment. |
| How to: Animate an EllipseGeometry | This example shows how to animate a Geometry within a Path element. In the following example, a PointAnimation is used to animate the Center of an EllipseGeometry. |
