Perspective

A tool for building circle arcs with WPF

The ArcSegment class is not easy to grasp. Despite the illustrations of the documentation, it is often necessary to grope to get the desired result.

In WpfDemo, the example application of my book about WPF (in french), I developed a WPF page that directly shows the effect of the various properties of this class.

ArcDemo.xaml (.NET 3.5 XBAP)

Note : this module does not work in .NET 3.5 SP1 beta, which introduces a regression bug.

Hello,

I'm Olivier Dewit, a french technical book author. I'm coming from msmvps.com and I will now blog here about WPF.

I'm writing a book about WPF, in French. My contribution to the community is Perspective, an experimental and pedagogical .NET class library which contains :

High-level 3D shapes : Box3D, Bar3D, Spherical3D, Conical3D, PieSlice3D...
3D interactive and skinnable controls : Button3D, Knob3D, Fader3D...
Workshop3D : a ready to use viewport for 3D models, with light, moveable camera and camera control panel.
2D controls : Knob, Fader, Joystick
Other stuff to build skinnable and international applications (desktop and XBAPs)
...

I've just published the 0.9 version. You can run an online demo here (this is a .NET 3.5 XBAP). Here is an article about 3D programming with Perspective.

Enjoy :-)
