XAML Values

  • oneOrMorePathFigures
    One or more PathFigure object elements. Object elements defined here become members of the PathFigureCollection collection when code accesses the Figures property at run time.

The PathGeometry type exposes the following members.

Constructors

  Name Description
PathGeometry Initializes a new instance of the PathGeometry class.

Properties

  Name Description
Bounds Gets a Rect that specifies the axis-aligned bounding box of the Geometry. (Inherited from Geometry.)
Dispatcher Gets the Dispatcher this object is associated with. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
Figures Gets or sets the collection of PathFigure objects that describe the contents of a path.
FillRule Gets or sets a value that determines how the intersecting areas contained in the PathGeometry are combined.
Transform Gets or sets the Transform object applied to a Geometry. (Inherited from Geometry.)

Methods

  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 representation of this PathGeometry. (Overrides Object..::.ToString()()().)

Fields

  Name Description
FiguresProperty Identifies the Figures dependency property.
FillRuleProperty Identifies the FillRule dependency property.

Remarks

Each PathGeometry object defines a collection of PathFigure objects. Each of the PathFigure objects is composed of one or more PathSegment objects, such as ArcSegment and LineSegment, which actually define their shape.

The filled area of the PathGeometry is defined by taking all of the contained PathFigure objects that have their IsFilled property set to true and applying the FillRule to determine the enclosed area.
