Ellipse Stroke background color

I have an ellipse with a stroke, so:

myEllipse.Stroke = Brushes.Yellow;

I need it to be yellow, but it doesn't always show up nicely on white backgrounds, which is pretty common in this scenario.

I was wondering if there was a way to put the Yellow Stroke on a black background.

myEllipse.Stroke = Brushes.Black;
myEllipse.Stroke = Brushes.Yellow;

Where instead of the yellow replacing the black, it would be a combination so that it always appears yellow as if the background image was black.

Solution

  • You could draw two ellipses on top of each other. The first would be black and slightly thicker than the second which would be yellow.

    They get drawn in the order they are added to their container object (view, grid or whatever), so make sure you add them in the order "black" then "yellow".
