# How to: Create Multiple Subpaths Within a PathGeometry
This example shows how to create multiple subpaths in a <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathGeometry>. To create multiple subpaths, you create a <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathFigure> for each subpath.  
  
## Example  
 The following example creates two subpaths, each one a triangle.  
  
 [!code-xaml[GeometrySample#38](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/GeometrySample/CS/pathgeometryexample.xaml#38)]  
  
 The following example shows how to create multiple subpaths by using a <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Path> and [!INCLUDE[TLA2#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tla2sharptla-xaml-md.md)] attribute syntax. Each `M` creates a new subpath so that the example creates two subpaths that each draw a triangle.  
  
 [!code-xaml[GeometrySample#58](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/GeometrySample/CS/geometryattributesyntaxexample.xaml#58)]  
  
 (Note that this attribute syntax actually creates a <xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometry>, a lighter-weight version of a <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathGeometry>. For more information, see the [Path Markup Syntax](path-markup-syntax.md) page.)
