How to: Draw a Closed Shape by Using the Polygon Element

This example shows how to draw a closed shape by using the xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Polygon element. To draw a closed shape, create a xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Polygon element and use its xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Polygon.Points%2A property to specify the vertices of a shape. A line is automatically drawn that connects the first and last points. Finally, specify a xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Shape.Fill%2A, a xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Shape.Stroke%2A, or both.

Example

In [!INCLUDETLA#tla_xaml], valid syntax for points is a space-delimited list of comma-separated x- and y-coordinate pairs.

[!code-xamldrawingwithshapeelements#PolygonExample1]

Although the example uses a xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas to contain the polygons, you can use polygon elements (and all the other shape elements) with any xref:System.Windows.Controls.Panel or xref:System.Windows.Controls.Control that supports non-text content.

This example is part of a larger sample; for the complete sample, see Shape Elements Sample.
