We have many complex Path
s in our WPF application. An example would be:
<Path Data="M14.077,9.772C11.634,9.772 9.652,11.753 9.652,14.197 9.652,16.641 11.634,18.622 14.077,18.622 16.521,18.622 18.502,16.641 18.502,14.197 18.502,11.753 16.521,9.772 14.077,9.772 M28,12L28,16 24.085,16C23.84,17.369,23.325,18.643,22.592,19.763L25.313,22.485 22.485,25.314 19.791,22.62C18.668,23.383,17.383,23.924,16,24.189L16,28 12,28 12,24.163C10.638,23.88,9.378,23.322,8.274,22.554L5.514,25.314 2.686,22.485 5.504,19.668C4.802,18.57,4.306,17.331,4.068,16L0,16 0,12 4.144,12C4.427,10.722,4.943,9.533,5.656,8.485L2.686,5.515 5.514,2.686 8.513,5.684C9.558,5,10.734,4.499,12,4.236L12,0 16,0 16,4.21C17.285,4.456,18.48,4.946,19.545,5.626L22.485,2.686 25.313,5.515 22.431,8.397C23.176,9.467,23.718,10.685,24.008,12z" Fill="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" Height="12" Width="12" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
Most of our Control Templates require extensive use of vector graphics and multiple effect are applied on these paths.
For performance reasons, we want to freeze the Data
of these paths since it won't be changed. This syntax we're using creates a StreamGeometry
and assigns data to it. StreamGeometry
is freezable but how can we freeze it in our xaml?
