Is there a way to get a DrawingContext (or something similar) for a WriteableBitmap? I.e. something to allow you to call simple DrawLine
DrawingContext
WriteableBitmap
DrawLine
It appears the word is no.
For future reference, we plan to use a port of the Writeable Bitmap Extensions for WPF.
For a solution using purely existing code, any of the other suggestions mentioned below will work.
