# How to: Animate an Object Along a Path (Double Animation)
This example shows how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.DoubleAnimationUsingPath> class to move an object along a path defined by a <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathGeometry>.
## Example
The following example uses two <xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.DoubleAnimationUsingPath> objects to move a rectangle along a geometric path:
- The first <xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.DoubleAnimationUsingPath> animates the <xref:System.Windows.Media.TranslateTransform.X%2A> of the <xref:System.Windows.Media.TranslateTransform> applied to the rectangle. It makes the rectangle move horizontally along the path.
- The second <xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.DoubleAnimationUsingPath> animates the <xref:System.Windows.Media.TranslateTransform.Y%2A> of the <xref:System.Windows.Media.TranslateTransform> applied to the rectangle. It makes the rectangle move vertically along the path.

For the complete sample, see [Path Animation Sample](https://github.com/Microsoft/WPF-Samples/tree/master/Animation/PathAnimations).
Another way to move an object using a geometric path is to use a <xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.MatrixAnimationUsingPath> object. For an example, see [Animate an Object Along a Path (Matrix Animation)](how-to-animate-an-object-along-a-path-matrix-animation.md).
