DrawingGroup

Attributes: ContentPropertyAttribute

Remarks

Use a DrawingGroup to combine multiple drawings into a single, composite drawing. Unlike other Drawing objects, you can apply a Transform, BitmapEffect, Opacity setting, OpacityMask, ClipGeometry, or a GuidelineSet to a DrawingGroup. The flexibility of this class enables you to create complex scenes.

Because DrawingGroup is also a Drawing, it can contain other DrawingGroup objects.

For more information about Drawing objects, see Drawing Objects Overview.

Freezable Features: Because it inherits from the Freezable class, the DrawingGroup class provides several special features: DrawingGroup objects can be declared as resources, shared among multiple objects, made read-only to improve performance, cloned, and made thread-safe. For more information about the different features provided by Freezable objects, see Freezable Objects Overview.

Methods

Append()	Opens the DrawingGroup in order to populate its Children. This method enables you to append additional Children to this DrawingGroup.
ApplyAnimationClock(DependencyProperty, AnimationClock, HandoffBehavior)	Applies an AnimationClock to the specified DependencyProperty. If the property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable)
ApplyAnimationClock(DependencyProperty, AnimationClock)	Applies an AnimationClock to the specified DependencyProperty. If the property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable)
BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline, HandoffBehavior)	Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable)
BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline)	Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable)
CheckAccess()	Determines whether the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject. (Inherited from DispatcherObject)
ClearValue(DependencyProperty)	Clears the local value of a property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyProperty identifier. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ClearValue(DependencyPropertyKey)	Clears the local value of a read-only property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyPropertyKey. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
Clone()	Creates a modifiable deep copy of this DrawingGroup and makes deep copies of its values.
CloneCore(Freezable)	Makes the instance a clone (deep copy) of the specified Freezable using base (non-animated) property values. (Inherited from Freezable)
CloneCurrentValue()	Creates a modifiable deep copy of this DrawingGroup object and makes deep copies of its current values.
CloneCurrentValueCore(Freezable)	Makes the instance a modifiable clone (deep copy) of the specified Freezable using current property values. (Inherited from Freezable)
CoerceValue(DependencyProperty)	Coerces the value of the specified dependency property. This is accomplished by invoking any CoerceValueCallback function specified in property metadata for the dependency property as it exists on the calling DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
CreateInstance()	Initializes a new instance of the Freezable class. (Inherited from Freezable)
CreateInstanceCore()	When implemented in a derived class, creates a new instance of the Freezable derived class. (Inherited from Freezable)
Equals(Object)	Determines whether a provided DependencyObject is equivalent to the current DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
Freeze()	Makes the current object unmodifiable and sets its IsFrozen property to `true`. (Inherited from Freezable)
FreezeCore(Boolean)	Makes this Animatable object unmodifiable or determines whether it can be made unmodifiable. (Inherited from Animatable)
GetAnimationBaseValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the non-animated value of the specified DependencyProperty. (Inherited from Animatable)
GetAsFrozen()	Creates a frozen copy of the Freezable, using base (non-animated) property values. Because the copy is frozen, any frozen sub-objects are copied by reference. (Inherited from Freezable)
GetAsFrozenCore(Freezable)	Makes the instance a frozen clone of the specified Freezable using base (non-animated) property values. (Inherited from Freezable)
GetCurrentValueAsFrozen()	Creates a frozen copy of the Freezable using current property values. Because the copy is frozen, any frozen sub-objects are copied by reference. (Inherited from Freezable)
GetCurrentValueAsFrozenCore(Freezable)	Makes the current instance a frozen clone of the specified Freezable. If the object has animated dependency properties, their current animated values are copied. (Inherited from Freezable)
GetHashCode()	Gets a hash code for this DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetLocalValueEnumerator()	Creates a specialized enumerator for determining which dependency properties have locally set values on this DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
GetValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the current effective value of a dependency property on this instance of a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
InvalidateProperty(DependencyProperty)	Re-evaluates the effective value for the specified dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
OnChanged()	Called when the current Freezable object is modified. (Inherited from Freezable)
OnFreezablePropertyChanged(DependencyObject, DependencyObject, DependencyProperty)	This member supports the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. (Inherited from Freezable)
OnFreezablePropertyChanged(DependencyObject, DependencyObject)	Ensures that appropriate context pointers are established for a DependencyObjectType data member that has just been set. (Inherited from Freezable)
OnPropertyChanged(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)	Overrides the DependencyObject implementation of OnPropertyChanged(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs) to also invoke any Changed handlers in response to a changing dependency property of type Freezable. (Inherited from Freezable)
Open()	Opens the DrawingGroup in order to populate its Children and clears any existing Children.
ReadLocalValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the local value of a dependency property, if it exists. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ReadPreamble()	Ensures that the Freezable is being accessed from a valid thread. Inheritors of Freezable must call this method at the beginning of any API that reads data members that are not dependency properties. (Inherited from Freezable)
SetCurrentValue(DependencyProperty, Object)	Sets the value of a dependency property without changing its value source. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetValue(DependencyProperty, Object)	Sets the local value of a dependency property, specified by its dependency property identifier. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetValue(DependencyPropertyKey, Object)	Sets the local value of a read-only dependency property, specified by the DependencyPropertyKey identifier of the dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ShouldSerializeProperty(DependencyProperty)	Returns a value that indicates whether serialization processes should serialize the value for the provided dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
VerifyAccess()	Enforces that the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject. (Inherited from DispatcherObject)
WritePostscript()	Raises the Changed event for the Freezable and invokes its OnChanged() method. Classes that derive from Freezable should call this method at the end of any API that modifies class members that are not stored as dependency properties. (Inherited from Freezable)
WritePreamble()	Verifies that the Freezable is not frozen and that it is being accessed from a valid threading context. Freezable inheritors should call this method at the beginning of any API that writes to data members that are not dependency properties. (Inherited from Freezable)
