Changing Position of an Element Programmatically in WPF

Question

I did not knew that this simple thing would be slightly complicated. I have a Canvas in which I am trying to add Ellipse dynamically. Here is the code:

<         


        

Answer 1

if you want to move your canvas with matrix you should do like this :

then you can do all works you want, on Matrix "mt". Like this :

For Scale:

Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.Scale(1.5, 1.5);
mt.Matrix = matrix;
mcanvas.LayoutTransform = Transform.Identity;

For Translate ( Changing Position ) :

Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.Translate(50, 0);
mt.Matrix = matrix;
mcanvas.LayoutTransform = Transform.Identity;

And if you want to create a canvas element programmatically, you should do like this :

Ellipse el = new Ellipse();
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.Translate(50, 0);
matrix.Scale(1.5,1.5);
el.RenderTransform = new MatrixTransform(matrix);

Hope this helps you.
