12.5. The Last Word
In this chapter, you took a detailed look at WPF's support for basic 2-D drawing. You began by considering the simple shape classes. Next, you learned how to outline and fill shapes with brushes both simple and complex, and how to move, resize, rotate, and warp shapes with transforms. Finally, you took a quick look at transparency.
Your journey isn't finished yet. In the next chapter, you'll take a look at the Path, the most sophisticated of the shape classes, which lets you combine the shapes you've seen so far and add arcs and curves. You'll also consider how you can make more efficient graphics with the help of WPF's Geometry and Drawing objects, and how you can export clip art from other programs.
