Features

Windows Canvas is work in progress and is evolving rapidly. The main things we have implemented so far are:

• Device class
• Basic drawing functions (line, rect, circle, etc.)
• Solid color brushes
• Stroke styles
• Text strings
• Basic bitmap loading and drawing
• Draw to a surface image source (hosted inside XAML)
• XAML canvas control for simple initialization
• Vector and matrix math library
• NuGet packages that makes it easy to consume Canvas from a new, blank, solution
• Reference documentation
• Interop to and from underlying native types (mix & match Canvas with native D2D)
