How to: Paint an Area with a Drawing
This example shows how to paint an area with a drawing. To paint an area with a drawing, you use a xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush and one or more xref:System.Windows.Media.Drawing objects. The following example uses a xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush to paint an object with a drawing of two ellipses.
Example
[!code-xamldrawingbrush_snip#DrawingBrushExampleWholePage]
[!code-csharpdrawingbrush_procedural_snip#DrawingBrushExampleWholePage] [!code-vbdrawingbrush_procedural_snip#DrawingBrushExampleWholePage]
The following illustration shows the example's output.
(The center of the shape is white for reasons described in Control the Fill of a Composite Shape.)
By setting a xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush object's xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.Viewport%2A and xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.TileMode%2A properties, you can create a repeating pattern. The following example paints an object with a pattern created from a drawing of two ellipses.

The following illustration shows the tiled xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush output.
