How to: Animate the Size of an ArcSegment

  • Article

This example shows how to animate the Size property of an ArcSegment.

Example

The following example creates an ArcSegment that animates its Size when it loads on the screen.

<Page xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
  xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" >
    <Canvas HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0" >

      <!-- Create an arc on the screen that animates its size when it loads. -->
      <Path Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="2" >
        <Path.Data>
          <PathGeometry>
            <PathGeometry.Figures>
              <PathFigureCollection>
                <PathFigure StartPoint="100,200">
                  <PathFigure.Segments>
                    <PathSegmentCollection>
                      <ArcSegment x:Name="myArcSegment" Size="90,80" 
                      SweepDirection="Clockwise"  Point="500,200" />
                    </PathSegmentCollection>
                  </PathFigure.Segments>
                </PathFigure>
              </PathFigureCollection>
            </PathGeometry.Figures>
          </PathGeometry>
        </Path.Data>
        <Path.Triggers>
          <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Path.Loaded">
            <BeginStoryboard Name="myBeginStoryBoard">
              <Storyboard>
                
                <!-- Animate the size of the ArcSegment to a width and height of 200. -->
                <SizeAnimation
                Storyboard.TargetName="myArcSegment"
                Storyboard.TargetProperty="Size"
                From="90,80"
                To="200,200"
                Duration="0:0:2" />

              </Storyboard>
            </BeginStoryboard>
          </EventTrigger>
        </Path.Triggers>
      </Path>
    </Canvas>
