To create a cubic Bezier curve, use the , , and classes. To display the resulting geometry, use a element, or use it with a or a . In the following examples, a cubic Bezier curve is drawn from (10, 100) to (300, 100). The curve has control points of (100, 0) and (200, 200). ## Example [xaml] In [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tlasharptla-xaml-md.md)], you may use abbreviated markup syntax to describe a path. [!code-xaml[GeometrySample#53](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/GeometrySample/CS/geometryattributesyntaxexample.xaml#53)] [xaml] In [!INCLUDE[TLA2#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tla2sharptla-xaml-md.md)], you can also draw a cubic Bezier curve using object tags. The following is equivalent to the previous [!INCLUDE[TLA2#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tla2sharptla-xaml-md.md)] example. [!code-xaml[GeometrySample#33](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/GeometrySample/CS/pathgeometryexample.xaml#33)] This example is part of larger sample; for the complete sample, see the [Geometries Sample](https://github.com/Microsoft/WPF-Samples/tree/master/Graphics/Geometry). ## See also - [Create an Elliptical Arc](how-to-create-an-elliptical-arc.md) - [Create a LineSegment in a PathGeometry](how-to-create-a-linesegment-in-a-pathgeometry.md) - [Create a Cubic Bezier Curve](how-to-create-a-cubic-bezier-curve.md) - [Create a Quadratic Bezier Curve](how-to-create-a-quadratic-bezier-curve.md)
