# How to: Create a Shape by Using a PathGeometry
|
|
This example shows how to create a shape using the <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathGeometry> class. <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathGeometry> objects are composed of one or more <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathFigure> objects; each <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathFigure> represents a different "figure" or shape. Each <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathFigure> is itself composed of one or more <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathSegment> objects, each representing a connected portion of the figure or shape. Segment types include <xref:System.Windows.Media.LineSegment>, <xref:System.Windows.Media.ArcSegment>, and <xref:System.Windows.Media.BezierSegment>.
|

|
## Example
|
|
The following example uses a <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathGeometry> to create a triangle. The <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathGeometry> is displayed using a <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Path> element.

The following illustration shows the shape created in the previous example.

A triangle created with a PathGeometry

The previous example showed how to create a relatively simple shape, a triangle. A <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathGeometry> can also be used to create more complex shapes, including arcs and curves. For examples, see [Create an Elliptical Arc](how-to-create-an-elliptical-arc.md), [Create a Cubic Bezier Curve](how-to-create-a-cubic-bezier-curve.md), and [Create a Quadratic Bezier Curve](how-to-create-a-quadratic-bezier-curve.md).
