WPF Point?

[Roger Frost]

I need to draw a single point with WPF but there doesn't seem to be a class
that represents the most fundamental geometric object.

Any idea's?

WPF doesn't have a pixel grid, so it's not possible to draw a 'point'.
Maybe you want a rectangle of height and width 1? (ie. 1/96th of an inch)

WPF is a vector based engine Microsoft WinForms graphics library (GDI
+) is raster based. When working with rasterized graphics you
typically manipulate pixels, with vectors are not defined in pixel
units. Attempting to draw a pixel at x,y on a WPF canvas is a working
"against the grain". Having said that you'll probably find what you're
looking for in BitmapSource class in System.Windows.Media.Imaging

Well dang, I guess I'll be scaling ellipses then, I want to stay within
System.Windows.Shapes
