DrawingGroup.Transform Property

public:
 property System::Windows::Media::Transform ^ Transform { System::Windows::Media::Transform ^ get(); void set(System::Windows::Media::Transform ^ value); };

public System.Windows.Media.Transform Transform { get; set; }

member this.Transform : System.Windows.Media.Transform with get, set

Public Property Transform As Transform

Property Value

The transformation to apply to this DrawingGroup. The default is null.

Examples

This example shows how to apply a Transform to a Drawing. To transform a Drawing object, you add it to a DrawingGroup and set the Transform property of the DrawingGroup object.

The DrawingGroup class is the only type of Drawing object that supports transforms. To apply multiple transforms to a single DrawingGroup, use a TransformGroup.

The following example uses a DrawingGroup to combine several GeometryDrawing objects and then transforms them by using a RotateTransform.

The illustration shows the DrawingGroup before and after the RotateTransform is applied.

Remarks

To apply multiple transforms to a single DrawingGroup, use a TransformGroup.

DrawingGroup operations are applied in the following order:

1. OpacityMask

2. Opacity

3. BitmapEffect

4. ClipGeometry

5. GuidelineSet

6. Transform
