This book follows the same style of my previous book "Practical C# Charts and Graphics". I emphasize the practical usefulness to your real-world graphics applications and try to explain WPF graphics concepts based on code examples. This in-depth book on graphics programming with the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) contains over 120 ready-to-run code examples, which provides you with everything you need to add advanced graphics to your applications. From basic 2D shapes to complex interactive 3D models, this book clearly explains every step it takes to build a variety of WPF graphics applications using code examples. You’ll learn how to use WPF to create impressive graphic effects and high-fidelity user interfaces.

This book contains:

• Overview of WPF graphics capabilities and mathematical basics of computer graphics.
• Step-by-step procedures to create a variety of 2D and 3D custom geometries and shapes with complete ready-to-run XAML and C# code for each application.
• Powerful 2D chart applications and user controls that can be directly used in your WPF applications or can be easily modified to create your own sophisticated chart packages.
• Detailed procedures to create various 3D surfaces in WPF using rectangular meshes.
• Introductions for how to build physics-based models games, and fractals.
• Advanced color, lighting, and shading effects for 3D graphics objects.
• Direct interaction with graphics models, including animation, transformations, hit-testing, and mouse events.
