We have 3D models in WPF and use a cursor made from a Canvas and some internal parts. We turn the HW cursor off and move the Canvas through MouseEvent. The issue is that there are terrible artifacts on the screen as you move from left to right (not nearly as bad right to left). I have played with snaptodevicepixels, Edge mode and nvidea AA settings but the only thing that "fixes" is setting edge mode to aliased for the 3dviewport - and we don't want that. I have even made the cursor completely transparent and it still leaves artifacts.
I broke out some of the code for demonstration. You can especially see the artifacts moving upper-left to lower-right.
Anyone think they can help me out here? I'm head banging and not in a good way. It's looking more like a bug in the AA code.
Thanks

FYI: I used some Petzold code here for the beach ball.

With code below every seems to be working fine when the scaleX and scaleY are larger than 1 (e.g. this.Width becomes 100 -> 100/83.25 = 1.20. But when these values go below 1 (e.g. this.Width becomes 50 -> scaleX = 50/83.25 = 0.600) the presented sphere is larger than excpected.
Is there any formula to calculate the correct scaling value when the size becomes lower than the actual bound of the canvas contents?

How can I animate a ScrollIntoView action in Silverlight 4?
Edits:
I know how to animated the scrolling. I just create my own DependencyProperty and scroll the ScrollViewer when it changes. What I need to do, is set up how much it should be changed? How do I calculate that? What does ScrollIntoView actually do?
From Reflector:
public static void ScrollIntoView(this ScrollViewer viewer, FrameworkElement element, double horizontalMargin, double verticalMargin, Duration duration)
{
if (viewer == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("viewer");
}
if (element == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("element");
}
Rect? itemRect = element.GetBoundsRelativeTo(viewer);
if (itemRect.HasValue)
{
double verticalOffset = viewer.VerticalOffset;
double verticalDelta = 0.0;
double hostBottom = viewer.ViewportHeight;
double itemBottom = itemRect.Value.Bottom + verticalMargin;
if (hostBottom < itemBottom)
{
verticalDelta = itemBottom - hostBottom;
verticalOffset += verticalDelta;
}
double itemTop = itemRect.Value.Top - verticalMargin;
if ((itemTop - verticalDelta) < 0.0)
{
verticalOffset -= verticalDelta - itemTop;
}
double horizontalOffset = viewer.HorizontalOffset;
double horizontalDelta = 0.0;
double hostRight = viewer.ViewportWidth;
double itemRight = itemRect.Value.Right + horizontalMargin;
if (hostRight < itemRight)
{
horizontalDelta = itemRight - hostRight;
horizontalOffset += horizontalDelta;
}
double itemLeft = itemRect.Value.Left - horizontalMargin;
if ((itemLeft - horizontalDelta) < 0.0)
{
horizontalOffset -= horizontalDelta - itemLeft;
}
if (duration == TimeSpan.Zero)
{
viewer.ScrollToVerticalOffset(verticalOffset);
viewer.ScrollToHorizontalOffset(horizontalOffset);
}
else
{
Storyboard storyboard = new Storyboard();
SetVerticalOffset(viewer, viewer.VerticalOffset);
SetHorizontalOffset(viewer, viewer.HorizontalOffset);
DoubleAnimation verticalOffsetAnimation = new DoubleAnimation {
To = new double?(verticalOffset),
Duration = duration
};
DoubleAnimation horizontalOffsetAnimation = new DoubleAnimation {
To = new double?(verticalOffset),
Duration = duration
};
Storyboard.SetTarget(verticalOffsetAnimation, viewer);
Storyboard.SetTarget(horizontalOffsetAnimation, viewer);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(horizontalOffsetAnimation, new PropertyPath(HorizontalOffsetProperty));
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(verticalOffsetAnimation, new PropertyPath(VerticalOffsetProperty));
storyboard.Children.Add(verticalOffsetAnimation);
storyboard.Children.Add(horizontalOffsetAnimation);
storyboard.Begin();

I want to be able to fill a rectangle with an animation on leftmousebuttondown (this will later be changed to run on load).
My rectangles are drawn to a canvas in code behind based on the data that is passed (one rectangle per row of data)
At the moment they are filled with a static image but I want this Fill to be an animation, a spinner if I can.
I am very new to Silverlight and am not sure how to achieve this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
My code (part) so far.

Any help anyone can give, even a pointer in the right direction would be great.
Thanks in advance
Try creating custom control which will encapsulate everything you want from rectangle to do.
you can add new VisualState "MouseDownState" and do required animatin in xaml.
Please let me know if you need more details regarding the implementation.
late simply add new control instead of rectangle.
i first sorry about my english,i´ll try to explain want i want to do
i need to draw an ellipse with wpf that represents an aura and it´s "deformations" representing problematic zones in it,in short an ellipse that can be deformed in running time in specific points
I'm trying to draw several bezier curves forming an ellipse but it´t very difficult (and i don´t know how) to make points that can be dragged forming convex or hollow zones in that ellipse.
¿i made myselft clear in my spanglish? ¿is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks in advance
I don't know what exactly you are trying to do but I recommend making a high resolution version of the ellipse and keeping track of the deformations yourself. Here is a sample program to get you started.
For this demo the XAML is simple:
<Canvas Name="canvas" Focusable="True" KeyDown="canvas_KeyDown" MouseDown="canvas_MouseDown" MouseMove="canvas_MouseMove" MouseUp="canvas_MouseUp"/>
and a the code-behind:
public partial class EllipseDemo : Window
{
const int resolution = 1000;
const double major = 150;
const double minor = 100;
const double xOrigin = 200;
const double yOrigin = 200;
const double radius = 10;
const double scale = 0.1;
const double spread = 10;
const double magnitude = 10;
Path path;
Ellipse controlPoint;
LineSegment[] segments;
double[] deformation;
double[] perturbation;
int controlPointIndex;
public EllipseDemo()
{
InitializeComponent();
segments = new LineSegment[resolution];
deformation = new double[resolution];
perturbation = new double[resolution];
for (int i = 0; i < resolution; i++)
{
var x = i >= resolution / 2 ? i - resolution : i;
perturbation[i] = magnitude * Math.Exp(-Math.Pow(scale * x, 2) / spread);
}
path = new Path();
path.Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);
path.StrokeThickness = 5;
CalculateEllipse();
canvas.Children.Add(path);
controlPoint = new Ellipse();
controlPoint.Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
controlPoint.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Transparent);
controlPoint.Width = 2 * radius;
controlPoint.Height = 2 * radius;
MoveControlPoint(0);
canvas.Children.Add(controlPoint);
canvas.Focus();
}
void CalculateEllipse()
{
for (int i = 0; i < resolution; i++)
{
double angle = 2 * Math.PI * i / resolution;
double x = xOrigin + Math.Cos(angle) * (major + deformation[i]);
double y = yOrigin + Math.Sin(angle) * (minor + deformation[i]);
segments[i] = new LineSegment(new Point(x, y), true);
}
var figure = new PathFigure(segments[0].Point, segments, true);
var figures = new PathFigureCollection();
figures.Add(figure);
var geometry = new PathGeometry();
geometry.Figures = figures;
path.Data = geometry;
}
void MoveControlPoint(int index)
{
controlPointIndex = index;
Canvas.SetLeft(controlPoint, segments[index].Point.X - radius);
Canvas.SetTop(controlPoint, segments[index].Point.Y - radius);
}
bool mouseDown;
void canvas_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
if (Mouse.DirectlyOver != controlPoint)
return;
mouseDown = true;
controlPoint.CaptureMouse();
}
void canvas_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (!mouseDown)
return;
int index = FindNearestIndex(e.GetPosition(canvas));
MoveControlPoint(index);
}
void canvas_MouseUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
if (!mouseDown)
return;
controlPoint.ReleaseMouseCapture();
mouseDown = false;
}
private void canvas_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
int delta = 0;
switch (e.Key)
{
case Key.Up:
delta = 1;
break;
case Key.Down:
delta = -1;
break;
}
if (delta == 0)
return;
int index = controlPointIndex;
for (int i = 0; i < resolution; i++)
deformation[(i + index) % resolution] += delta * perturbation[i];
CalculateEllipse();
MoveControlPoint(index);
}
int FindNearestIndex(Point point)
{
var min = double.PositiveInfinity;
var index = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < segments.Length; i++)
{
var vector = point - segments[i].Point;
var distance = vector.LengthSquared;
if (distance < min)
{
index = i;
min = distance;
}
}
return index;
}
}
This works mostly with a Path represented by line segments and an Ellipse as a control point. The mouse can move the control point around the ellipse and then the arrow keys add or remove a canned perturbation. Everything is hard coded but if you are OK with the math then it should help you get started.
Here's the program in action:
