# How to: Create a Shape Using a StreamGeometry
|
|
<xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometry> is lightweight alternative to <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathGeometry> for creating geometric shapes. Use a <xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometry> when you need to describe a complex geometry but do not want the overhead of supporting data binding, animation, or modification. For example, because of its efficiency, the <xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometry> class is a good choice for describing adorners.

## Create a triangular StreamGeometry
|
|
The following example uses attribute syntax to create a triangular <xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometry> in [!INCLUDE[TLA2#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tla2sharptla-xaml-md.md)].

|

[!code-xaml[GeometriesMiscSnippets_snip#StreamGeometryTriangleExampleWholePage](~/samples/snippets/xaml/VS_Snippets_Wpf/GeometriesMiscSnippets_snip/XAML/StreamGeometryExample.xaml#streamgeometrytriangleexamplewholepage)]
|
|
|
|
For more information about <xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometry> attribute syntax, see the [Path Markup Syntax](path-markup-syntax.md) page.

|
## Use a StreamGeometry to define a triangle
|
|
The next example uses a <xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometry> to define a triangle in code. First, the example creates a <xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometry>, then obtains a <xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometryContext> and uses it to describe the triangle.

|
## Create a geometric shape in code
|
|
The next example creates a method that uses a <xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometry> and <xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometryContext> to define a geometric shape based on specified parameters.
