How to: Create Different Tile Patterns with a TileBrush
This example shows how to use the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.TileMode%2A property of a xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush to create a pattern.
The xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.TileMode%2A property enables you to specify how the content of a xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush is repeated, that is, tiled to fill an output area. To create a pattern, you set the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.TileMode%2A to xref:System.Windows.Media.TileMode.Tile, xref:System.Windows.Media.TileMode.FlipX, xref:System.Windows.Media.TileMode.FlipY, or xref:System.Windows.Media.TileMode.FlipXY. You must also set the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.Viewport%2A of the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush so that it is smaller than the area that you are painting; otherwise, only a single tile is produced, regardless which xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.TileMode%2A setting you use.
Example
The following example creates five xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush objects, gives them each a different xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.TileMode%2A setting, and uses them to paint five rectangles. Although this example uses the xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush class to demonstrate xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.TileMode%2A behavior, the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush.TileMode%2A property works identically for all the xref:System.Windows.Media.TileBrush objects, that is, for xref:System.Windows.Media.ImageBrush, xref:System.Windows.Media.VisualBrush, and xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush.
The following illustration shows the output that this example produces.
