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.
