I need to draw a black lined circle and save it as a gif file. Can this be
done with wpf or do I need to use GDI+
The examples I found seem to only apply to UI elements not a file.
Thank you

Tem,
This can be done in both WPF and in Windows Forms (through GDI). The
thing is, what are YOU using? If you are using Windows Forms, then in the
method you use to paint, you can use the DrawEllipse method on the Graphics
instance to draw a circle (just make sure to use a square for the bounding
coordinates and it will produce a circle).
In WPF, you should just be able to add an Ellipse element into your XAML
with the same height and width.

I would like to use WPF because is the newer technology. However I could not
find a code sample on how to do this.
This is what I need to do
The app has a button called generate circle
when the buttons is clicked it generates a gif file of a circle in the local
dir.
From what I understand I don't need to use XAML, no UI here, just need to
generate a gif file
Thank you,

If you are generating a GIF file, then you are better off creating a new
Bitmap instance and then getting the Graphics instance for the bitmap
(through the static FromImage method on the Graphics class). Draw on that
using the Graphics instance, and then you can save the Bitmap (as a GIF of
course).

Saving any XAML scene to a picture is very easy. I prefer to use PNG, so
that's what this example is about, but I guess you can choose other formats:
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(path , FileMode.OpenOr Create))
{
PngBitmapEncode r enc = new PngBitmapEncode r();
enc.Frames.Add(
BitmapFrame.Cre ate(CaptureScre enBitmap(this.R ootImage)));
enc.Save(fs);
}
with:
private BitmapSource CaptureScreenBi tmap(Panel panel)
{
return CaptureScreenBi tmap(panel,
(int) panel.ActualWid th,
(int) panel.ActualHei ght);
}
private BitmapSource CaptureScreenBi tmap(Visual target,
int width,
int height)
{
Rect bounds = VisualTreeHelpe r.GetDescendant Bounds(target);
RenderTargetBit map renderBitmap
= new RenderTargetBit map(width,
height,
96, 96,
PixelFormats.Pb gra32);
DrawingVisual visual = new DrawingVisual() ;
using (DrawingContext context = visual.RenderOp en())
{
VisualBrush brush = new VisualBrush(tar get);
context.DrawRec tangle(brush,
null,
new Rect(new Point(), bounds.Size));
}
renderBitmap.Re nder(visual);
return renderBitmap;
}

In my example, the RootImage is the panel containing the scene that you
want to capture to an image. It can be a grid, a canvas, etc...

I tried your example I was able to generate a png but it has nothing in it.
a blank picture.
Here's my code, it also gives me a blank file.
I cannot figure out why it doesn't work.
RenderTargetBit map rtb = new RenderTargetBit map(200, 200, 96, 96,
PixelFormats.Pb gra32);
Ellipse cir = new Ellipse();
cir.Height = 50;
cir.Width = 50;
cir.Stroke = Brushes.Black;
cir.StrokeThick ness = 1.0;
rtb.Render(cir) ;
PngBitmapEncode r png = new PngBitmapEncode r();
png.Frames.Add( BitmapFrame.Cre ate(rtb));
using (Stream fs= File.Create("te st.png"))
{
png.Save(fs);
