>Expression Design has a larger range of vector drawing tools than Blend,
and can export as XAML, or you can copy and paste the

XAML.

 

You're right. I rarely use Expression Design except to make some simplistic
images with coloured shapes. I read the F1 help on "paths, creating" and
found it quite easy to make some pretty shapes, then export as XAML WPF
Resource Dictionary. I get more than I need, but the path string I want is
inside. This technique will be fine for my modest upcoming needs.

 

Ooops! I just noticed that the coordinates of the points are slightly
offset. I made a rectangle that snapped into the top-left and you can see
it's not a 0,0.

 

Geometry="F1 M 152.167,108.167L 0.5,108.167L 0.5,0.49998L 152.167,0.49998L
152.167,108.167 Z "

 

I guess I can live with this quirk. The technique of "Convert bitmapped
images to paths" might be useful.

 

Joseph, thanks for pointing out the existence of inkscape. It's a shame that
SVG scalable vector graphics aren't useful in WPF or Silverlight
development.

 

Thanks

Greg
