I'm not sure if it will work in your scenario, but I've accomplished this in the past using the RenderTransform.

    
        
            
        
    
    
        
            
                
                    
                
            
        
    
    
        10
        30
        50
        70
    

Or in the case of binding you will need to use a converter

    
        
            
        
    
    
        
            
        
    
    
        10
        30
        50
        70
    

Converter

public void ConvertTo(object value, ...)
{
    int intValue = int.Parse(value.ToString());

    return new TransformGroup()
    {
        Children = new TransformCollection()
        {
            new TranslateTransform { X = intValue, Y = intValue }
        }
    };
}
