Pro WPF in C# 2010: Windows Presentation Foundation in .NET 4

13.3. The Last Word

In this chapter, you delved deeper into WPF's 2-D drawing model. You began with a thorough look at the Path class, the most powerful of WPF's shape classes, and the geometry model that it uses. Then you considered how you could use a geometry to build a drawing, and to use that drawing to display lightweight, noninteractive graphics. In the next chapter, you'll consider an even leaner approach—forgoing elements and using the lower-level Visual class to perform your rendering by hand.
