RectangleGeometry Object

  • Article

Describes a two-dimensional rectangular geometry.

XAML
<RectangleGeometry .../>
Scripting
To create an object using scripting, see CreateFromXAML.

Properties

FillRule, Name, RadiusX, RadiusY, Rect, Transform

Methods

Equals, FindName, GetHost, GetValue, SetValue

Remarks

FillRule is technically a property inherited from the base Geometry class, but setting it has no effect on a RectangleGeometry.

Examples

The following example shows how to create and render a RectangleGeometry. The position and the dimensions of the rectangle are defined by a Rect value, provided as a string. The position is 50,50 and the height and width are both 25, which creates a square. The following illustration shows the output of the example.
