The EllipseGeometry type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Bounds | Gets a Rect that specifies the axis-aligned bounding box of the Geometry. (Inherited from Geometry.) |
| Center | Gets or sets the center point of the EllipseGeometry. |
| Dispatcher | Gets the Dispatcher this object is associated with. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
| RadiusX | Gets or sets the x-radius value of the EllipseGeometry. |
| RadiusY | Gets or sets the y-radius value of the EllipseGeometry. |
| Transform | Gets or sets the Transform object applied to a Geometry. (Inherited from Geometry.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | CheckAccess | Determines whether the calling thread has access to this object. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
| ClearValue | Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetAnimationBaseValue | Returns any base value established for a Windows Phone dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetValue | Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| 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.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | CenterProperty | Identifies the Center dependency property. |
| RadiusXProperty | Identifies the RadiusX dependency property. |
| RadiusYProperty | Identifies the RadiusY dependency property. |
The following example shows how to create an ellipse using EllipseGeometry.
<Canvas> <Path Fill="Gold" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1"> <Path.Data> <EllipseGeometry Center="50,50" RadiusX="50" RadiusY="50" /> </Path.Data> </Path> </Canvas>
The following illustration shows the output from the example.
An EllipseGeometry drawn at (50,50)
