# How to: Draw a Line
|
|
This example shows you how to draw lines by using the <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Line> element.
|
|
|
|
To draw a line, create a <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Line> element. Use its <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Line.X1%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Line.Y1%2A> properties to set its start point; and use its <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Line.X2%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Line.Y2%2A> properties to set its end point. Finally, set its <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Shape.Stroke%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Shape.StrokeThickness%2A> because a line without a stroke is invisible.
|
|
|
|
Setting the <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Shape.Fill%2A> element for a line has no effect, because a line has no interior.
|
|
|
|
The following example draws three lines inside a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas> element.
