Hello,

Could you tell me how to get the position of the tap gesture from user so that I can draw a line from that?

If you use tap gesture to get the position from user, you can obtain by calling the GetPosition method on a TappedEventArgs object. The GetPosition method accepts an Element? argument, and returns a position as a Point?

See:Get the gesture position

By the way, if you want to draw a line. Use Skisharp and effect is a good choice. You can refer to this document: Invoking Events from Effects, it is Xamarin document, but it could be used in the MAUI.

If you use Effect in MAUI, please check the Reuse effects in .NET MAUI.
