It appears Michael Schwarz might be blogging Silverlight again, so we might be in store for some good in-depth articles like the ones he was doing last year!
I'll blog it in a Cream post later, but he brought up the "Rectangles, Path, and Line" comparison again that we'd discussed at length back when Silverlight was still WPF/E.
I have an article and a tooltip about this on my site, and even with the latest versions of Silverlight, the issue holds true.
The first one came out of the forum discussion we'd been having that began on 4/24/2007 I believe. A way around the problem was proposed and shown on 4/25/2007, and I have both of those detailed in my Silverlight Rectangles, Paths, and Line Comparison article.
This screenshot shows a canvas with the "problem" 'Path' and 'Line' boxes (the gray left and right ones), and the resolved 'Path' and 'Line' boxes in blue:
The screenshot above is of a live canvas from the article referenced.
Then on 10/13/2007, I approached the subject again in response to a forum discussion and this time decided to see how the lines would compare if drawn from other locations than .0 or .5 and produced this screenshot of a live canvas:
This canvas can be seen live in my
first tooltip.
I find it interesting how some of these topics have a tendency to resurface.
Stay in the 'Light!
