This is a WPF question.
I am trying to track / drag the vertices of a PathGeometry on a Canvas using Thumb Controls to drag the vertices.
It seems that the PathGeometry is scaled differently than the Thumb positions relative to the Canvas.
How can I compute the scaling ratio? Once I have that, I can use a ScaleTransform to correct it.
Thanks in advance.
Here is my XAML. I have a scale value of 3 hard coded, but it doesn't work if my window size changes:

As you can see, I am setting both the vertices and the thumbs to the same position relative to the canvas. However, if you run the code, you can see that the initial triangle with the gradient fill is much smaller than it needs to be. I want the 3 thumbs to coincide with the 2 vertices and the midpoint.
Moreover, I notice that I have a Height and Width specified for the Path, which I am not sure if I need. If I make it larger to match the size of the canvas, the triangle will grow. Should I set Height and with to *?
I am new to WPF graphics, so any help would be appreciated.
Well.. after banging my head on the wall for a couple days, I finally figured out how to fix this issue. Hopefully this will save someone a lot of time and hassle down the road.
The problem was that I had the Path width/height set to the size of the parent window, and the Stretch property set to Fill.
Once I made the following change, the scaling came out correct.
<Canvas Background="Black" x:Name="MyCanvas" SizeChanged="MyCanvas_SizeChanged" Loaded="MyCanvas_Loaded">
<Path x:Name="MyPath" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" Height="{Binding MyCanvas.ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding MyCanvas.ActualWidth}" Stretch="None" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm building a WPF imaging application that takes live images from a camera allowing users to view the image, and subsequently highlight regions of interest (ROI) on that image. Information about the ROIs (width, height, location relative to a point on the image, etc) is then sent back to the camera, in effect telling/training the camera firmware where to look for things like barcodes, text, liquid levels, turns on a screw, etc. on the image). A desired feature is the ability to pan and zoom the image and it's ROIs, as well as scroll when the image is zoomed larger than the viewing area. The StrokeThickness and FontSize of the ROI's need to keep there original scale, but the width and height of the shapes within an ROI need to scale with the image (this is critical to capture exact pixel locations to transmit to the camera). I've got most of this worked out with the exception of scrolling and a few other issues. My two areas of concern are:
When I introduce a ScrollViewer I don't get any scroll behavior. As I understand it I need to introduce a LayoutTransform to get the correct ScrollViewer behavior. However when I do that other areas start to break down (e.g. ROIs don't hold their correct position over the image, or the mouse pointer begins to creep away from the selected point on the image when panning, or the left corner of my image bounces to the current mouse position on MouseDown .)
I can't quite get the scaling of my ROI's the way I need them. I have this working, but it is not ideal. What I have doesn't retain the exact stroke thickness, and I haven't looked into ignoring scale on the textblocks. Hopefully you'll see what I'm doing in the code samples.
I'm sure my issue has something to do with my lack of understanding of Transforms and their relationship to the WPF layout system. Hopefully a rendition of the code that exhibits what I've accomplished so far will help (see below).
FYI, if Adorners are the suggestion, that may not work in my scenario because I could end up with more adorners than are supported (rumor 144 adorners is when things start breaking down).
First off, below is a screenshot showing an image with to ROI's (text and a shape). The rectangle, ellipse and text need to follow the area on the image in scale and rotation, but not they shouldn't scale in thickness or fontsize.
Here's the XAML that is showing the above image, along with a Slider for zooming (mousewheel zoom will come later)

Here's the C# that manages pan and zoom.
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
private Point origin;
private Point start;
private Slider _slider;
public MainWindow()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
//Setup a transform group that we'll use to manage panning of the image area
TransformGroup group = new TransformGroup();
ScaleTransform st = new ScaleTransform();
group.Children.Add(st);
TranslateTransform tt = new TranslateTransform();
group.Children.Add(tt);
//Wire up the slider to the image for zooming
_slider = _ImageZoomSlider;
_slider.ValueChanged += _ImageZoomSlider_ValueChanged;
st.ScaleX = _slider.Value;
st.ScaleY = _slider.Value;
//_ImageScrollArea.RenderTransformOrigin = new Point(0.5, 0.5);
//_ImageScrollArea.LayoutTransform = group;
_DisplayImage.RenderTransformOrigin = new Point(0.5, 0.5);
_DisplayImage.RenderTransform = group;
_ROICollectionCanvas.RenderTransformOrigin = new Point(0.5, 0.5);
_ROICollectionCanvas.RenderTransform = group;
}
//Captures the mouse to prepare for panning the scrollable image area
private void ImageScrollArea_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
_DisplayImage.ReleaseMouseCapture();
}
//Moves/Pans the scrollable image area assuming mouse is captured.
private void ImageScrollArea_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (!_DisplayImage.IsMouseCaptured) return;
var tt = (TranslateTransform)((TransformGroup)_DisplayImage.RenderTransform).Children.First(tr => tr is TranslateTransform);
Vector v = start - e.GetPosition(border);
tt.X = origin.X - v.X;
tt.Y = origin.Y - v.Y;
}
//Cleanup for Move/Pan when mouse is released
private void ImageScrollArea_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
_DisplayImage.CaptureMouse();
var tt = (TranslateTransform)((TransformGroup)_DisplayImage.RenderTransform).Children.First(tr => tr is TranslateTransform);
start = e.GetPosition(border);
origin = new Point(tt.X, tt.Y);
}
//Zoom according to the slider changes
private void _ImageZoomSlider_ValueChanged(object sender, RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<double> e)
{
//Panel panel = _ImageScrollArea;
Image panel = _DisplayImage;
//Set the scale coordinates on the ScaleTransform from the slider
ScaleTransform transform = (ScaleTransform)((TransformGroup)panel.RenderTransform).Children.First(tr => tr is ScaleTransform);
transform.ScaleX = _slider.Value;
transform.ScaleY = _slider.Value;
//Set the zoom (this will affect rotate too) origin to the center of the panel
panel.RenderTransformOrigin = new Point(0.5, 0.5);
foreach (UIElement child in _ROICollectionCanvas.Children)
{
//Assume all shapes are contained in a panel
Panel childPanel = child as Panel;
var x = childPanel.Children;
//Shape width and heigh should scale, but not StrokeThickness
foreach (var shape in childPanel.Children.OfType<Shape>())
{
if (shape.Tag == null)
{
//Hack: This is be a property on a usercontrol in my solution
shape.Tag = shape.StrokeThickness;
}
double orignalStrokeThickness = (double)shape.Tag;
//Attempt to keep the underlying shape border/stroke from thickening as well
double newThickness = shape.StrokeThickness - (orignalStrokeThickness / transform.ScaleX);
shape.StrokeThickness -= newThickness;
}
}
}
}
The code should work in a .NET 4.0 or 4.5 project and solution, assuming no cut/paste errors.
Any thoughts? Suggestions are welcome.
Ok. This is my take on what you described.
It looks like this:
Since I'm not applying any RenderTransforms, I get the desired Scrollbar / ScrollViewer functionality.
MVVM, which is THE way to go in WPF. UI and data are independent thus the DataItems only have double and int properties for X,Y, Width,Height, etc that you can use for whatever purposes or even store them in a Database.
I added the whole stuff inside a Thumb to handle the panning. You will still need to do something about the Panning that occurs when you are dragging / resizing a ROI via the ResizerControl. I guess you can check for Mouse.DirectlyOver or something.
I actually used a ListBox to handle the ROIs so that you may have 1 selected ROI at any given time. This toggles the Resizing Functionality. So that if you click on a ROI, you will get the resizer visible.
The Scaling is handled at the ViewModel level, thus eliminating the need for custom Panels or stuff like that (though #Clemens' solution is nice as well)
I'm using an Enum and some DataTriggers to define the Shapes. See the DataTemplate DataType={x:Type local:ROI} part.
WPF Rocks. Just Copy and paste my code in a File -> New Project -> WPF Application and see the results for yourself.

In order to transform shapes without changing their stroke thickness, you may use Path objects with transformed geometries.
The following XAML puts an Image and two Paths on a Canvas. The Image is scaled and translated by a RenderTransform. The same transform is also used for the Transform property of the geometries of the two Paths.
<Canvas>
<Image Source="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert.jpg">
<Image.RenderTransform>
<TransformGroup x:Name="transform">
<ScaleTransform ScaleX="0.5" ScaleY="0.5"/>
<TranslateTransform X="100" Y="50"/>
</TransformGroup>
</Image.RenderTransform>
</Image>
<Path Stroke="Orange" StrokeThickness="2">
<Path.Data>
<RectangleGeometry Rect="50,100,100,50"
Transform="{Binding ElementName=transform}"/>
</Path.Data>
</Path>
<Path Stroke="Orange" StrokeThickness="2">
<Path.Data>
<EllipseGeometry Center="250,100" RadiusX="50" RadiusY="50"
Transform="{Binding ElementName=transform}"/>
</Path.Data>
</Path>
</Canvas>
Your application may now simply change the transform object in response to input events like MouseMove or MouseWheel.
Things get a little bit trickier when it comes to also transforming TextBlocks or other element that should not be scaled, but only be moved to a proper location.
You may create a specialized Panel which is able to apply this kind of transform to its child elements. Such a Panel would define an attached property that controls the position of a child element, and would apply the transform to this position instead of the RenderTransform or LayoutTransform of the child.
This may give you an idea of how such a Panel could be implemented:
public class TransformPanel : Panel
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty TransformProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register(
"Transform", typeof(Transform), typeof(TransformPanel),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(Transform.Identity,
FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsArrange));
public static readonly DependencyProperty PositionProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
"Position", typeof(Point?), typeof(TransformPanel),
new PropertyMetadata(PositionPropertyChanged));
public Transform Transform
{
get { return (Transform)GetValue(TransformProperty); }
set { SetValue(TransformProperty, value); }
}
public static Point? GetPosition(UIElement element)
{
return (Point?)element.GetValue(PositionProperty);
}
public static void SetPosition(UIElement element, Point? value)
{
element.SetValue(PositionProperty, value);
}
protected override Size MeasureOverride(Size availableSize)
{
var infiniteSize = new Size(double.PositiveInfinity,
double.PositiveInfinity);
foreach (UIElement element in InternalChildren)
{
element.Measure(infiniteSize);
}
return new Size();
}
protected override Size ArrangeOverride(Size finalSize)
{
foreach (UIElement element in InternalChildren)
{
ArrangeElement(element, GetPosition(element));
}
return finalSize;
}
private void ArrangeElement(UIElement element, Point? position)
{
var arrangeRect = new Rect(element.DesiredSize);
if (position.HasValue && Transform != null)
{
arrangeRect.Location = Transform.Transform(position.Value);
}
element.Arrange(arrangeRect);
}
private static void PositionPropertyChanged(
DependencyObject obj, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var element = (UIElement)obj;
var panel = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(element) as TransformPanel;
if (panel != null)
{
panel.ArrangeElement(element, (Point?)e.NewValue);
}
}
}
It would be used in XAML like this:
<local:TransformPanel>
<local:TransformPanel.Transform>
<TransformGroup>
<ScaleTransform ScaleX="0.5" ScaleY="0.5" x:Name="scale"/>
<TranslateTransform X="100"/>
</TransformGroup>
</local:TransformPanel.Transform>
<Image Source="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert.jpg"
RenderTransform="{Binding Transform, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=local:TransformPanel}}"/>
<Path Stroke="Orange" StrokeThickness="2">
<Path.Data>
<RectangleGeometry Rect="50,100,100,50"
Transform="{Binding Transform, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=local:TransformPanel}}"/>
</Path.Data>
</Path>
<Path Stroke="Orange" StrokeThickness="2">
<Path.Data>
<EllipseGeometry Center="250,100" RadiusX="50" RadiusY="50"
Transform="{Binding Transform, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=local:TransformPanel}}"/>
</Path.Data>
</Path>
<TextBlock Text="Rectangle" local:TransformPanel.Position="50,150"/>
<TextBlock Text="Ellipse" local:TransformPanel.Position="200,150"/>
</local:TransformPanel>
Well this answer doesn't really help OP with his more specified issue but in general, camera panning, zooming in and out, and looking around (using the mouse) is quite difficult and so I just wanted to give some insight on how I implemented camera movement into my viewport scene (like Blender or Unity etc.)
This is the class called CameraPan, which contains some variables you can customize to edit the zooming in and out distance/speed, pan speed and camera look sensitivity. At the bottom of the class there is some hashed out code that represents the basic implementation into any scene. You first need to create a viewport and assign it to a 'Border' (which is a UI element that can handle mouse events since Viewport can't) and also create a camera alongside a couple of other public variables that are accessed from the CameraPan Class:
public partial class CameraPan
{
Point TemporaryMousePosition;
Point3D PreviousCameraPosition;
Quaternion QuatX;
Quaternion PreviousQuatX;
Quaternion QuatY;
Quaternion PreviousQuatY;
private readonly float PanSpeed = 4f;
private readonly float LookSensitivity = 100f;
private readonly float ZoomInOutDistance = 1f;
private readonly MainWindow mainWindow = Application.Current.Windows.OfType<MainWindow>().FirstOrDefault();
public Vector3D LookDirection(PerspectiveCamera camera, Point3D pointToLookAt) // Calculates vector direction between two points (LookAt() method)
{
Point3D CameraPosition = camera.Position;
Vector3D VectorDirection = new Vector3D
(pointToLookAt.X - CameraPosition.X,
pointToLookAt.Y - CameraPosition.Y,
pointToLookAt.Z - CameraPosition.Z);
return VectorDirection;
}
public void PanLookAroundViewport_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) // Panning the viewport using the camera
{
if (e.MiddleButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
{
Point mousePos = e.GetPosition(sender as Border); // Gets the current mouse pos
Point3D newCamPos = new Point3D(
((-mousePos.X + TemporaryMousePosition.X) / mainWindow.Width * PanSpeed) + PreviousCameraPosition.X,
((mousePos.Y - TemporaryMousePosition.Y) / mainWindow.Height * PanSpeed) + PreviousCameraPosition.Y,
mainWindow.MainCamera.Position.Z); // Calculates the proportional distance to move the camera,
//can be increased by changing the variable 'PanSpeed'
if (Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.LeftCtrl)) // Pan viewport
{
mainWindow.MainCamera.Position = newCamPos;
}
else // Look around viewport
{
double RotY = (e.GetPosition(sender as Label).X - TemporaryMousePosition.X) / mainWindow.Width * LookSensitivity; // MousePosX is the Y axis of a rotation
double RotX = (e.GetPosition(sender as Label).Y - TemporaryMousePosition.Y) / mainWindow.Height * LookSensitivity; // MousePosY is the X axis of a rotation
QuatX = Quaternion.Multiply(new Quaternion(new Vector3D(1, 0, 0), -RotX), PreviousQuatX);
QuatY = Quaternion.Multiply(new Quaternion(new Vector3D(0, 1, 0), -RotY), PreviousQuatY);
Quaternion QuaternionRotation = Quaternion.Multiply(QuatX, QuatY); // Composite Quaternion between the x rotation and the y rotation
mainWindow.camRotateTransform.Rotation = new QuaternionRotation3D(QuaternionRotation); // MainCamera.Transform = RotateTransform3D 'camRotateTransform'
}
}
}
public void MiddleMouseButton_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) // Declares some constants when mouse button 3 is first held down
{
if (e.MiddleButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
{
var mainWindow = Application.Current.Windows.OfType<MainWindow>().FirstOrDefault();
TemporaryMousePosition = e.GetPosition(sender as Label);
PreviousCameraPosition = mainWindow.MainCamera.Position;
PreviousQuatX = QuatX;
PreviousQuatY = QuatY;
}
}
public void MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
mainWindow.CameraCenter = new Point3D(
mainWindow.CameraCenter.X + mainWindow.MainCamera.Position.X - mainWindow.OriginalCamPosition.X,
mainWindow.CameraCenter.Y + mainWindow.MainCamera.Position.Y - mainWindow.OriginalCamPosition.Y,
mainWindow.CameraCenter.Z + mainWindow.MainCamera.Position.Z - mainWindow.OriginalCamPosition.Z);
// Sets the center of rotation of cam to current mouse position
} // Declares some constants when mouse button 3 is first let go
public void ZoomInOutViewport_MouseScroll(object sender, MouseWheelEventArgs e)
{
var cam = Application.Current.Windows.OfType<MainWindow>().FirstOrDefault().MainCamera;
if (e.Delta > 0) // Wheel scrolled forwards - Zoom In
{
cam.Position = new Point3D(cam.Position.X, cam.Position.Y, cam.Position.Z - ZoomInOutDistance);
}
else // Wheel scrolled forwards - Zoom Out
{

}

*/
}
The mouse event handlers run the specified camera pan functions depending on mouse and key events. The setup is similar to Unity Viewport controls (middle mouse to look around, middle mouse + CTRL to pan around, scroll wheel to zoom).
Here is my full implementation of the camera pan if you want it. It includes a scene that draws a red cube and lets you pan around the scene using the camera:

Does anyone know of an easy way to animate a movement from an Image's current location to a new location (X,Y) using WPF animation with no XAML, 100% programmatically? And with no reference to "this" (with RegisterName etc).
I am trying to make an extension class for Image to do animation stuff on it. It is easy enough to change the width and height properties through animation, but after searching for location animation of an object it suddenly becomes more advanced.
As it is an extension class I will only have a reference to the actual Image object and the X and Y I want to move it to.
public static void MoveTo(this Image targetControl, double X, double Y, double Width, double Height){
//code here
...
}
Update:
Thanks. Almost working. It seems The GetTop and GetLeft returns 'NaN' not explicitly set. Found the workaround in this post: Canvas.GetTop() returning NaN
public static void MoveTo(this Image target, double newX, double newY) {
Vector offset = VisualTreeHelper.GetOffset(target);
var top = offset.Y;
var left = offset.X;
TranslateTransform trans = new TranslateTransform();
target.RenderTransform = trans;
DoubleAnimation anim1 = new DoubleAnimation(0, newY - top, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
DoubleAnimation anim2 = new DoubleAnimation(0, newX - left, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.YProperty, anim1);
trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.XProperty, anim2);
}
I had to swap two of the values (FROM) with 0. I assume that must be because in this context the upper left corner of the picture is the origin? But now it works.
Try this:
public static void MoveTo(this Image target, double newX, double newY)
{
var top = Canvas.GetTop(target);
var left = Canvas.GetLeft(target);
TranslateTransform trans = new TranslateTransform();
target.RenderTransform = trans;
DoubleAnimation anim1 = new DoubleAnimation(top, newY - top, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
DoubleAnimation anim2 = new DoubleAnimation(left, newX - left, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.XProperty,anim1);
trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.YProperty,anim2);
}
Here it is... It changes the size and moves a MediaElement under the Canvas. Just input your parameters:
Storyboard story = new Storyboard();
DoubleAnimation dbWidth = new DoubleAnimation();
dbWidth.From = mediaElement1.Width;
dbWidth.To = 600;
dbWidth.Duration = new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(.25));
DoubleAnimation dbHeight = new DoubleAnimation();
dbHeight.From = mediaElement1.Height;
dbHeight.To = 400;
dbHeight.Duration = dbWidth.Duration;
story.Children.Add(dbWidth);
Storyboard.SetTargetName(dbWidth, mediaElement1.Name);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(dbWidth, new PropertyPath(MediaElement.WidthProperty));
story.Children.Add(dbHeight);
Storyboard.SetTargetName(dbHeight, mediaElement1.Name);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(dbHeight, new PropertyPath(MediaElement.HeightProperty));
DoubleAnimation dbCanvasX = new DoubleAnimation();
dbCanvasX.From = 0;
dbCanvasX.To = 5;
dbCanvasX.Duration = new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(.25));
DoubleAnimation dbCanvasY = new DoubleAnimation();
dbCanvasY.From = 0;
dbCanvasY.To = 5;
dbCanvasY.Duration = dbCanvasX.Duration;
story.Children.Add(dbCanvasX);
Storyboard.SetTargetName(dbCanvasX, mediaElement1.Name);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(dbCanvasX, new PropertyPath(Canvas.LeftProperty));
story.Children.Add(dbCanvasY);
Storyboard.SetTargetName(dbCanvasY, mediaElement1.Name);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(dbCanvasY, new PropertyPath(Canvas.TopProperty));
story.Begin(this);
<Viewbox Stretch="Uniform" StretchDirection="Both" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<Grid Width="640" Height="480" Name="MainLayout" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" Background="Black">
<Canvas Width="640" Height="480" Name="MainCanvas" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<MediaElement Height="171" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="mediaElement1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="337" LoadedBehavior="Manual" Margin="166,140,0,0" Canvas.Left="-162" Canvas.Top="-140" />
<Button Canvas.Left="294" Canvas.Top="196" Content="Button" Height="23" Name="button1" Width="75" Click="button1_Click" />
</Canvas>
</Grid>
</Viewbox>
UPDATE:
Instead of MediaElement use this line:
<Rectangle Height="171" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="mediaElement1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="337" Margin="166,140,0,0" Canvas.Left="-162" Canvas.Top="-140" Fill="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.MenuBarBrushKey}}" />
And don't forget to put the C# code to:
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {}
You can use MediaElement as well but you have to define a VideoClip to see something ;)
Please find a solution that uses the Left and Top properties of Canvas for the extension method. See the following code:
public static void MoveTo(this Image target, Point newP)
{
Point oldP = new Point();
oldP.X = Canvas.GetLeft(target);
oldP.Y = Canvas.GetTop(target);
DoubleAnimation anim1 = new DoubleAnimation(oldP.X, newP.X, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.2));
DoubleAnimation anim2 = new DoubleAnimation(oldP.Y, newP.Y , TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.2));
target.BeginAnimation(Canvas.LeftProperty , anim1);
target.BeginAnimation(Canvas.TopProperty, anim2);
}
This code is based on #DeanChalk's answer.
It moves an Image contained within a Canvas (RFID_Token) diagonally from the top-right to the bottom-left, positioned centrally over another Image within a Canvas (RFID_Reader).
<Canvas>
<Canvas x:Name="RFID_Reader_Canvas">
<Image x:Name="RFID_Reader" Source="RFID-Reader.png" Height="456" Width="682" Canvas.Left="37" Canvas.Top="524"/>
</Canvas>
<Canvas x:Name="RFID_Token_Canvas">
<Image x:Name="RFID_Token" Source="RFID-Token.png" Height="268" Width="343" Canvas.Left="874" Canvas.Top="70"/>
</Canvas>
</Canvas>
var StartX = Canvas.GetLeft(RFID_Token);
var StartY = Canvas.GetTop(RFID_Token);
var EndX = RFID_Reader.Width / 2 + Canvas.GetLeft(RFID_Reader) - StartX - (RFID_Token.Width / 2);
var EndY = RFID_Reader.Height / 2 + Canvas.GetTop(RFID_Reader) - StartY - (RFID_Token.Height / 2);
var AnimationX = new DoubleAnimation(0, EndX, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
var AnimationY = new DoubleAnimation(0, EndY, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
var Transform = new TranslateTransform();
RFID_Token_Canvas.RenderTransform = Transform;
Transform.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.XProperty, AnimationX);
Transform.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.YProperty, AnimationY);
I kept having NaN or 0 values for my nested elements, here's a modified version of Danny's answer :
public void MoveTo(Canvas canvas, FrameworkElement target, FrameworkElement destination)
{
Point oldPoint = target.TransformToAncestor(canvas).Transform(new Point(0, 0));
Point newPoint = destination.TransformToAncestor(canvas).Transform(new Point(0, 0));
var EndX = destination.Width / 2 + newPoint.X - oldPoint.X - (target.Width / 2);
var EndY = destination.Height / 2 + newPoint.Y - oldPoint.Y - (target.Height / 2);
TranslateTransform trans = new TranslateTransform();
target.RenderTransform = trans;
DoubleAnimation anim1 = new DoubleAnimation(0, EndX, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.3));
DoubleAnimation anim2 = new DoubleAnimation(0, EndY, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.3));
trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.XProperty, anim1);
trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.YProperty, anim2);
}
