The current implementation is done in Java and I'm porting it to a generic code-base on C#, so it can be used by various rendering implementations and also because I want to use the power of WPF for a user-friendly interface. After browsing around for a day, I came across various methods to draw Vector-graphics through WPF.

Oct 22, 2009 · WPF comes with new graphics features, you can investigate it here, but if you want to use an old GDI+ API one way to do is to create Winform draw there and host it into WPF Share Follow

May 11, 2011 · WPF uses a different model for graphics manipulation than WinForms. With WinForms, you are able to directly edit the pixels on the screen. The concept of your rectangle is lost after the pixels are drawn. Drawing pixels is a very fast operation. With WPF, you are not controlling the pixels on the screen. DirectDraw is.

Jan 3, 2012 · Regarding wpf's GPU acceleration, all that performance boost and more is lost by CPU side layout and tesselation. Please see my website here goo.gl/1nCpw for a demonstration of what a bitmap approach can do, and compare to other similar components here goo.gl/ohLFj achieve with the wpf rendering primitives.

Apr 19, 2013 · The fastest WPF drawing method I have found is to: create a DrawingGroup "backingStore". during OnRender(), draw my drawing group to the drawing context; anytime I want, backingStore.Open() and draw new graphics objects into it

Dec 8, 2010 · If your video card supports partial hardware acceleration, such as if you're running a version of DirectX between 7.0 and 9.0, then WPF uses Tier 1 rendering mode. If your video card supports full hardware acceleration for all graphics output, corresponding to a version of DirectX equal or greater than 9.0, then WPF uses Tier 2 rendering mode.

Apr 7, 2011 · Typically, you "draw" in WPF in a completely different manner. In Windows Forms/GDI, the graphics API is an immediate mode graphics API. Each time the window is refreshed/invalidated, you explicitly draw the contents using Graphics. In WPF, however, things work differently. You rarely ever directly draw - instead, it's a retained mode graphics API.

Apr 16, 2012 · Note also that a lot of the available documentation and online examples are targeted for the maintained Silverlight component and not for the open WPF component. Many of the components are different between these two versions so you have to dig through the WPF component to see what's there. The above example is for the v0.3 WPF component.

You can use RenderTargetBitmap to render any WPF content into a Bitmap, since it is, itself, a BitmapSource. With this, you can use standard drawing operations in WPF to "draw" on a bitmap. Share

Aug 9, 2013 · The Twelve days of WPF 3D by Eric Sink. It is a series of articles focusing on WPF, from the beginner to intermediate level. It focuses on getting practical things done with WPF 3D, rather then fundamental 3D math etc, but is great for answering some common questions most WPF 3D programmers eventually come across.
