WPF Point?

[Roger Frost]

I need to draw a single point with WPF but there doesn't seem to be a class
that represents the most fundamental geometric object.

Any idea's?

Don't rely on me for expert WPF advice. However, my observation is that
WPF is a much more geometry-based graphical API than, for example, GDI+.
In particular, when you write that "a single point" is "the most
fundamental geometric object", that's not actually true in a purely
mathematical sense. Likewise, in WPF I don't think there's any such thing
as a point that can be visualized, so there wouldn't be any point in
providing any way to represent one as a visual object.

You should decide on what shape you want to draw the point, and then
create a suitably sized object of that shape to represent your point.

WPF doesn't have a pixel grid, so it's not possible to draw a 'point'.
Maybe you want a rectangle of height and width 1? (ie. 1/96th of an inch)

WPF is a vector based engine Microsoft WinForms graphics library (GDI
+) is raster based. When working with rasterized graphics you
typically manipulate pixels, with vectors are not defined in pixel
units. Attempting to draw a pixel at x,y on a WPF canvas is a working
"against the grain". Having said that you'll probably find what you're
looking for in BitmapSource class in System.Windows.Media.Imaging

Well dang, I guess I'll be scaling ellipses then, I want to stay within
System.Windows.Shapes

Thanks,
