Drawing a simple graph with WPF

I am looking to do some simple drawing with in a WPF application, I was wondering if this is a simple task or if I should look into some 3rd party libraries.

Quite simply I just want to draw on an image control some points and lines between those points. Is this something easy to do?

thanks!

Solution

  • for a sample to use ..you can draw a line using basics only...

    how to set canvas backgroud as image..

      ImageBrush ib = new ImageBrush();
ib.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"sampleImages\berries.jpg", UriKind.Relative));
mycanvas.Background = ib;

    and you can now draw on your canvas a line like this..

    line = new Line();
line.Stroke = Brushes.LightSteelBlue;
line.X1 = 1;
line.X2 = 50;
line.Y1 = 1;
line.Y2 = 50;
line.StrokeThickness = 2;
myCanvas.Children.Add(line);

    hope it will help you to start..
