How to: Set the Horizontal and Vertical Alignment of a TileBrush
This example shows how to control the horizontal and vertical alignment of content in a tile. To control the horizontal and vertical alignment of a xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush, use its xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentX%2A and xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentY%2A properties.
The xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentX%2A and xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentY%2A properties of a xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush are used when either of the following conditions is true:
-
The xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.Stretch%2A property is xref:System.Windows.Media.Stretch.Uniform or xref:System.Windows.Media.Stretch.UniformToFill and the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.Viewbox%2A and xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.Viewport%2A have different aspect ratios.
-
The xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.Stretch%2A property is xref:System.Windows.Media.Stretch.None and the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.Viewbox%2A and xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.Viewport%2A are different sizes.
Align TileBrush to upper-left corner
The following example aligns the content of a xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush, which is a type of xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush, to the upper-left corner of its tile. To align the content, the example sets the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentX%2A property of the xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush to xref:System.Windows.Media.AlignmentX.Left and the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentY%2A property to xref:System.Windows.Media.AlignmentY.Top. This example produces the following output.

Align DrawingBrush to lower-right corner
The next example aligns the content of a xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush to the lower-right corner of its tile by setting the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentX%2A property to xref:System.Windows.Media.AlignmentX.Right and the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentY%2A property to xref:System.Windows.Media.AlignmentY.Bottom. The example produces the following output.

Align DrawingBrush to upper-left corner
The next example aligns the content of a xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush to the upper-left corner of its tile by setting the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentX%2A property to xref:System.Windows.Media.AlignmentX.Left and the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentY%2A property to xref:System.Windows.Media.AlignmentY.Top. It also sets the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.Viewport%2A and xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.TileMode%2A of the xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush to produce a tile pattern. The example produces the following output.
Tile pattern with content aligned to upper-left in base tile
The illustration highlights abase tile so that you can see how its content is aligned. Notice that the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentX%2A setting has no effect because the content of the xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush completely fills the base tile horizontally.

Align tiled DrawingBrush to lower-right corner
The final example aligns the content of a tiled xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush to the lower-right of its base tile by setting the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentX%2A property to xref:System.Windows.Media.AlignmentX.Right and the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentY%2A property to xref:System.Windows.Media.AlignmentY.Bottom. The example produces the following output.
Tile pattern with content aligned to lower-right in base tile
Again, the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentX%2A setting has no effect because the content of the xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush completely fills the base tile horizontally.

The examples use xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush objects to demonstrate how the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentX%2A and xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.AlignmentY%2A properties are used. These properties behave identically for all the tile brushes: xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush, xref:System.Windows.Media.ImageBrush, and xref:System.Windows.Media.VisualBrush.
