Re: Off-screen graphics in WPF

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks, but I'm looking for the ability to write a console program with no UI
and be able to render the XAML graphics into a PNG file (part of background
processing started from a cron-type job) I think the answer is to create an
XPS document and render that into a file but if there is another way I'd love
to hear it.

When we worked with the DOM using HTML/CSS/JavaScript we often
positioned --whatever-- off-screen to the left and brought --whatever-- back

is how the SkipLinks methodology came about for Accessibility. There should
be no reason that type of little trick cannot be used with WPF.

Hi all,

I've been doing some WPF work and wondered if there is an off-screen
'canvas' that I can draw things to. I'd like to do some batch processing
where I render images into a memory area using WPF. Is there a Virtual
Canvas
or some such construct?

Thanks,
