Rectangle in WPF

The Rectangle object represents a rectangle shape and draws a rectangle with the given height and width. The Width and Height properties of the Rectangle class represent the width and height of a rectangle. The Fill property fills the interior of a rectangle. The Stroke property sets the color and StrokeThickness represents the width of the outer line of a rectangle. Creating a Rectangle The Rectangle element in XAML creates a rectangle shape. The following code snippet creates a rectangle by setting its width and height properties to 200 and 100 respectively. The code also sets the black stroke of width 4.
<Rectangle Width="200" Height="100" Fill="Blue" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="4" />

The output looks like Figure 5.

Figure 5. A rectangle The CreateARectangle method listed in Listing 8 draws same rectangle in Figure 5 dynamically.
/// <summary> /// Creates a blue rectangle with black border

/// </summary> public void CreateARectangle() { // Create a Rectangle Rectangle blueRectangle = new Rectangle(); blueRectangle.Height = 100; blueRectangle.Width = 200;

// Create a blue and a black Brush SolidColorBrush blueBrush = new SolidColorBrush(); blueBrush.Color = Colors.Blue; SolidColorBrush blackBrush = new SolidColorBrush(); blackBrush.Color = Colors.Black;

// Set Rectangle's width and color blueRectangle.StrokeThickness = 4; blueRectangle.Stroke = blackBrush; // Fill rectangle with blue color blueRectangle.Fill = blueBrush;

// Add Rectangle to the Grid. LayoutRoot.Children.Add(blueRectangle); }

Listing 7

The RadiusX and RadiusY properties set the x-axis and y-axis radii of the ellipse that is used to round the corner of a rectangle. By adding the following lines of code to Listing 7 creates a rounded rectangle, which looks like Figure 6.
// Set roundness blueRectangle.RadiusX = 20; blueRectangle.RadiusY = 20;
