how can I give an image an octagonal shape?
I'm creating a mobile App. In this app there is the user's profile and i would like give an an octagonal shape to the user's profile. For the moment I have just an image:
<Image x:Name="ProfilePicture" HeightRequest="100" HorizontalOptions="Center" Source="Profile.png" TranslationY="50" VerticalOptions="End"/>
how can I shape this image?
The result I would like to achieve is this:
a yellow outline and instead of the gift the user image
Solution
Xaml doesn't support drawing shapes directly. You have several options:
- Simple. Use shape image as resource. Put it all together with with grid or absolute layout.
- Smart. Use Font Awesome icons in your XF. You can reuse other icons to reduce bitmaps in your app. Unfortunately octagonal shape is available only in PRO edition.
- Heavy artillery. You can use Skiasharp or similar library to draw octagonal image with user image inside.
Hope it helps.
