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 [!INCLUDETLA2#tla_xaml].

For more information about xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometry attribute syntax, see the Path Markup Syntax 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.
