Make polyline appear crisp and clear in small content control (wpf)

Hi, I have 3 tiny content controls and each has a Path in it to draw some lines. These need to be very small and I'm having trouble making the lines clear. the lines have a stroke thickness of "1", but when I run the app, they become pixilated and blur out. Can someone please help me on this?

Thanks.

Hi Moondaddy,
the lines have a stroke thickness of "1", but when I run the app, they
become pixilated and blur out.

I paste your sample code into my test project and run the application, but
I didn't see the lines blur out on my side. They are very clear.

If you change the StokeThickness property of the Path elements to 0.5, will
the lines become clear?

Linda Liu

Yes, I'm still having the problem. I'm putting the images in a canvas now
instead of in a grid which seemed to help a little bit. one thing I noticed
is that because the detail is so small, that as I resize or move the parent
container, the pixels in the image move just a very little from clear to
fuzzy and back again. I guess that the precision is just to small and the
slightest change in location effect how it can be visualized.

Hi Moondaddy,

Thank you for your reply!

I did see the problem you described on my side.

Even though I add the SnapsToDevicePi xels attribute in the Canvas element
in XAML file and set value of this attribute to true, the problem still
exists.

I will report this issue to our product team.

You can also submit a product feedback about this issue in the Microsoft
Connect web site:

Hi George,

I have report this issue to our product team and the reply is that we could
add the RenderOptions.E dgeMode="Aliase d" to the top-level Grid element to
make polyline appear clear.

For example,
<Grid HorizontalAlign ment="Left" Margin="10,0,0, 0" Width="11" Height="33"
SnapsToDevicePi xels="True" RenderOptions.E dgeMode="Aliase d">

Hope this helps.

Thanks that worked really good for straight lines. In one of my controls
where I used this, it had an ellipse which looked a bit goofy, but I may
replace that with an image to get around it.

This language C# is more primitive than I thought. I just found out that C#2.0 does not support polyline (see below), a very useful feature for connecting points with a line automatically. Only C# 3.0 supports this. I'm curious, what did people do before version 3.0 was released? I guess they had to construct their own functions that manually connected the points? Unreal. I think C# .Forms is beta compared to MFC and C++, but...
