A quick article explaining how to use the XAML element. It’s something that bugged me and took longer than it should have.
I wanted to draw a simple horizontal line. It’s only when I read the Microsoft documentation that I realised a few key points.
- You must specify a StrokeThickness.
- You must specify a Stroke (i.e. White). Don’t bother with Fill
- Width and Height specify the space your line is in
- The coordinates (X1, X2, Y1, Y2) define the detail of your line within the space
If you want a simple horizontal line in red, you can do this:
[code lang="xml”] [/code]
And here’s an example of a more complicated line, more akin to the slash / character:
[code lang="xml”] [/code]
