Add/remove/move elements in canvas on runtime

Question

I want to build simple application where I am able to manipulate canvas elements on runtime (move, resize, delete, add elements...) but I am confused.
Can I do this with GraphicsView or do I need to use SkiaSharp?
I tried GraphicsView but it seems it cant be achieved.

Hello,

I tried GraphicsView but it seems it cant be achieved.

When you use GraphicsView, you could only redraw the Drawable property each time you need to modify the elements above.

Therefore, it should be better to use SkiaSharp in your project to implement this feature.

Please refer to SkiaSharp Graphics in Xamarin.Forms. Although this document is for Xamarin.Forms, the Skia API has not changed on MAUI, and you could refer to it.

As the matter of fact,

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.
