Methods

  Name Description
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone CheckAccess Determines whether the calling thread has access to this object. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)

Remarks

The local 0,0 for an object can be offset on a Canvas using Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top, but this does not count as a transform; the object retains its own local 0,0 in this case for transform purposes.

Multiple transforms can be applied with a TransformGroup. Custom transforms can be created with a MatrixTransform.

TranslateTransform defines an axis-aligned translation along the x and y axes. The following illustration shows the transformation matrix for a translation by offset (dx, dy).

TranslateTransform matrix

Matrix.

Transforms can alter the display of text in your application to create a decorative effect. The following illustration shows text translated, or moved, along the x and y axes.

TextBlock using a TranslateTransform

Translated text creates text shadow.

Examples

The following example uses a TranslateTransform to offset text. In this example, a slightly offset copy of text below the primary text creates a shadow effect.

Run this sample

<Canvas>

      <!-- Offset the text using a TranslateTransform. -->
      <TextBlock
       FontFamily="Verdana"
       FontSize="32"
       FontWeight="Bold" 
       Foreground="Black"
       Text="Translated Text">
          <TextBlock.RenderTransform>
              <TranslateTransform X="2" Y="2" />
          </TextBlock.RenderTransform>
      </TextBlock>

      <TextBlock
       FontFamily="Verdana"
       FontSize="32"
       FontWeight="Bold" 
       Foreground="Coral"
       Text="Translated Text"/>

  </Canvas>

The example below shows how to increase the X and Y property values of a TranslateTransform applied to a Rectangle every time the Rectangle is clicked.

Run this sample

<Canvas
 xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
 xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
 Width="200" Height="200">
    <Rectangle MouseLeftButtonDown="handleMouseButtonDown"
     Width="50" Height="50" Fill="RoyalBlue">
        <Rectangle.RenderTransform>

            <!-- If you give the transform a name you can access it easily
       from code. -->
            <TranslateTransform x:Name="myTranslateTransform" />
        </Rectangle.RenderTransform>
    </Rectangle>
</Canvas>
private void handleMouseButtonDown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    // Increase the X and Y properties.
    myTranslateTransform.X = myTranslateTransform.X + 15;
    myTranslateTransform.Y = myTranslateTransform.Y + 15;
}
