8.  In WPF we don't need to write a C# code to respond to redraw requests\  WPF can keep the screen repainted for us  This is because WPF lets us represent drawings as objects that can be represented as XAML  Objects are representing graphical shapes in the tree of user interface elements  When some property is changed, WPF will automatically update the display 8

9. 9 <Canvas x:Name="MainCanvas" MouseLeftButtonDown= "mainCanvas_MouseLeftButtonDown"> "mainCanvas_MouseLeftButtonDown"> <Rectangle Canvas.Left="10" Canvas.Top="30" <Rectangle Canvas.Left="10" Canvas.Top="30" Fill="Indigo" Width="40" Height="20" /> Fill="Indigo" Width="40" Height="20" /> <Rectangle Canvas.Left="20" Canvas.Top="40" <Rectangle Canvas.Left="20" Canvas.Top="40" Fill="Yellow" Width="40" Height="20" /> Fill="Yellow" Width="40" Height="20" /> <Rectangle Canvas.Left="30" Canvas.Top="50" <Rectangle Canvas.Left="30" Canvas.Top="50" Fill="Orange" Width="40" Height="20" /> Fill="Orange" Width="40" Height="20" /></Canvas> private void MainCanvas_MouseLeftButtonDown (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e){ Rectangle r = e.Source as Rectangle; Rectangle r = e.Source as Rectangle; if (r != null) if (r != null) { r.Width += 10; } { r.Width += 10; }}

12.  What is resolution independence?  Elements on the screen can be drawn at sizes independent from the pixel grid  Resizing do not affect the image quality  WPF resolution independence means that  If two monitors are set to their native resolution and each of them is accurately reporting its DPI settings to WPF  They will display the same WPF window at the exactly the same size 12

13.  WPF is resolution independent, but it has logical units to give elements size  A WPF window and all the elements inside it are using device-independent units  WPF defines a device-independent pixel as 1/96th of an inch  WPF optimizes its rendering of graphical features for any scale  It is ideally placed to take advantage of increasing screen resolutions 13

14.  WPF supports transformations at a fundamental level  Everything in the UI can be transformed  Not just the user-drawn graphics  E.g. text, images, graphical objects, lines, ellipses, rectangles, controls, etc.  The LayoutTransform property  Available on all user interface elements in WPF  Rotation, scaling, effects (e.g. blur), etc. 14

15.  The details have become crisper  Graphic is clearer  Because WPF has rendered the button to look as good as it can at the specified size 15 <Button>......

17.  Most of the classes in WPF’s drawing toolkit fall into one of these three categories:  Shapes – geometrical figures, e.g. rectangle  Brushes – mechanisms to fill a shape  Pens – draw the shape borders  Shapes are objects that provide the basic building blocks for drawing  Rectangle, Ellipse, Line, Polyline, Polygon, and Path 17

18.  The simplest brush is the single-color SolidColorBrush  For more interesting visual effects use  LinearGradientBrush  RadialGradientBrush  Create brushes based on images  ImageBrush  DrawingBrush  VisualBrush – take any visual tree 18

19.  Pens are used to draw the outline of a shape  Pen is just an augmented brush  When you create a Pen object  You give it a Brush to tell it how it should paint onto the screen  The Pen class adds more settings  Line thickness (1px, 2px, …)  Dash patterns (solid, dotted, dashed, …) 19

21.  The Fill property  Specifies the Brush that will be used to paint the interior  The Stroke property  Specifies the Brush that will be used to paint the outline of the shape  The Stretch property  How the shape is stretched to fill the shape object's layout space 21

22.  It can be drawn either filled in shape, as an outline, or both filled in and outlined  Rectangle doesn’t provide any properties for setting its location  The location is determined by the container (e.g. Canvas, StackPanel, FlowPanel, …) 22 <Canvas> <Rectangle Fill="Yellow" Stroke="Black" <Rectangle Fill="Yellow" Stroke="Black" Canvas.Left="30" Canvas.Top="10" Canvas.Left="30" Canvas.Top="10" Width="100" Height="20" /> Width="100" Height="20" /></Canvas>

23.  A Rectangle will usually be aligned with the coordinate system of its parent panel  If the parent panel has been rotated, Rectangle will of course be also rotated  RadiusX and RadiusY properties  Draw a rectangle with rounded corners  RenderTransform property  Transforms a Rectangle relative to its containing panel (rotate, scale, effects, …) 23

24.  Ellipse is similar to Rectangle  Size, location, rotation, fill, and stroke of an Ellipse are controlled in exactly the same way as for a Rectangle 24 <Ellipse Width="100" Height="50" Fill="Yellow" Stroke="Black" /> Stroke="Black" />

25.  Draws a straight line between two points  Controlling the location  X1 and Y1 define the start point, and X2 and Y2 determine the end point 25 Foo Foo Bar Bar </StackPanel>

39.  ImageSource is an abstract base class  Represent an image  Two classes derive from ImageSource  DrawingImage  It wraps a resolution-independent drawing object  BitmapSource – it also is abstract  Bitmap source types: BitmapFrame, BitmapImage, CachedBitmap, ColorConvertedBitmap, etc. 39

40.  RenderTargetBitmap  Create a new bitmap from any visual 40 RenderTargetBitmap bmp = new RenderTargetBitmap(300,150,300,300, new RenderTargetBitmap(300,150,300,300, PixelFormats.Pbgra32); PixelFormats.Pbgra32); Ellipse e = new Ellipse(); e.Fill = Brushes.Green; e.Measure(new Size(96, 48)); e.Arrange(new Rect(0, 0, 96, 48)); bmp.Render(e);

41.  You can choose any resolution you like for the output  RenderTargetBitmap lets you build a bitmap out of any combination of WPF visuals  It is great if you want to build or modify a bitmap using WPF elements 41

42.  BitmapEffects property  Apply a visual effect to the element and all of its children  All of these effects use bitmap processing algorithms 42 <TextBlock Text="Normal Text" <TextBlock Text="Normal Text" TextAlignment="Center" FontWeight="Bold" /> TextAlignment="Center" FontWeight="Bold" /> <RadioButton Content="Better in position 1?" <RadioButton Content="Better in position 1?"
