Pro Silverlight 5 in VB

The Last Word

In this chapter, you took a detailed look at Silverlight's support for basic 2-D drawing. You began by considering the simple shape classes and continued to Path, the most sophisticated of the shape classes, which lets you add arcs and curves. You also learned how to apply transforms and 3-D projections to manipulate shapes—a technique that will come in particularly handy when you tackle animation in Chapter 10.

But your journey isn't complete. In the next chapter, you'll consider how you can create better drawings by using the right brushes, controlling opacity, and applying with transforms.
