Adding a Polyline | ComponentOne Maps for WPF and Silverlight

Adding a Polyline

In This Topic

You can connect geographic coordinates with a polyline by adding a C1VectorPolyline to the C1VectorLayer (see Vector Layer for more information). In this topic, you will create a 3-point polyline using XAML and code.

In XAML

Complete the following steps:

Place the following XAML markup between the <c1:C1Maps> and </c1:C1Maps> tags:

C#	Copy Code
<c1:C1VectorLayer Margin="2,0,-2,0"> <c1:C1VectorPolyline Points="-80.15,42.12 -123.08,39.09, -3.90,30.85" StrokeThickness="3" Stroke="Red"> </c1:C1VectorPolyline> </c1:C1VectorLayer>

Press F5 to run the project.

In Code

Complete the following steps:

In XAML view, add x:Name="C1Maps1" to the <c1:C1Maps> tag so that the object will have a unique identifier for you to call in code.

Enter Code view and import the following namespace:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Imports C1.Silverlight.C1Maps

C#	Copy Code
using C1.Silverlight.C1Maps;

Add the following code beneath the InitializeComponent() method:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
' Create layer and add it to the map Dim C1VectorLayer1 As New C1VectorLayer() C1Maps1.Layers.Add(C1VectorLayer1) ' Initial track Dim pts As Point() = New Point() {New Point(-80.15, 42.12), New Point(-123.08, 39.09), New Point(-3.9, 30.85)} ' Create collection and fill it Dim pcoll As New PointCollection() For Each pt As Point In pts pcoll.Add(pt) Next ' Create a polyline and add it to the vector layer as a child Dim C1VectorPolyline1 As New C1VectorPolyline() C1VectorLayer1.Children.Add(C1VectorPolyline1) ' Points C1VectorPolyline1.Points = pcoll ' Appearance C1VectorPolyline1.Stroke = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red) C1VectorPolyline1.StrokeThickness = 3

' Create collection and fill it

Dim pcoll As New PointCollection()

For Each pt As Point In pts
   pcoll.Add(pt)

' Create a polyline and add it to the vector layer as a child

' Appearance
