Drawing Shapes: The Rectangle
The Rectangle element is another common geometric shape that you can utilize in custom control templates. Drawing a rectangle is easy, as demonstrated in the following code example:
<Rectangle Width="150" Height="50" Fill="Orange" Stroke="Red" StrokeThickness="3"/>
You define its dimensions, specifying Stroke and StrokeThickness as for the ellipse (optional). Figure 29.16 shows how the object is drawn.
