What objects support tranformations? What are the transformations that Silverlight supports for the elements?
- A Transform defines how to map, or transform, points from one coordinate space to another coordinate space. This mapping is described by a transformation Matrix, which is a collection of three rows with three columns of Double values.
- The objects Ellipse and Rectangle are supported for transformations.
- The transformations that Silverlight supports for elements are rotations, scales, skews, and translations.
- The two-dimensional (2-D) Transform classes are used in Silverlight to rotate, scale, skew, and move (translate) objects. The following example applies transforms that rotate and skew a line of text.
- One way to transform an object is to declare the appropriate Transform type and apply it to the transformation property of the object.
- Different types of objects have different types of transformation properties. The following table lists several commonly used Silverlight types and their transformation properties.
| Type | Transformation properties |
| Brush | Transform, RelativeTransform |
| Geometry | Transform |
| UIElement | RenderTransform |
