How to: Transform a Geometry

This example shows how to use the Transform property to apply a RotateTransform to a Geometry object.

Example

The following example uses a GeometryGroup to create a composite shape from three Geometry objects and then rotates the geometry 45 degrees by using the Transform property.

    <!-- Displays the geometry. -->

        <!-- Creates a composite shape from three geometries. -->
        <GeometryGroup FillRule="EvenOdd">
          <LineGeometry StartPoint="10,10" EndPoint="50,30" />
          <EllipseGeometry Center="40,70" RadiusX="30" RadiusY="30" />
          <RectangleGeometry Rect="30,55 100 30" />

          <!-- Rotate the geometry 45 degrees using the Transform Property. -->
          <GeometryGroup.Transform>
            <RotateTransform CenterX="40" CenterY="70" Angle="45" />
          </GeometryGroup.Transform>
        </GeometryGroup>
      </Path.Data>
    </Path>
