Binding Image to a window
-
Hello, is there a way to Bind a image to a window? I have a button in my application which has a image, <Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"> <Image Source="c:\IMG_1861.JPG" Width="200" /> </Window> Resizing the window does not resize the image, instead it streches and crumbles the image. Is there a way to get away from this? Yes we can draw the Image using WPF that seem to be tedious as far as my application is corncerned, i tried using ViewBox is that the only way out? Sample application apreciated. With Rgds, Anil

I'm not quite sure what you mean by crumbles the image, but if you don't specify the width it will take up the available space. Maybe the Stretch and MaxWidth properties can give you the behavior you want.

The problem that you have is that this is a bitmapped image and not a vector image. If you want an image that scales well, it has to be a vector graphic because a vector graphic uses maths to manage the implementation of the image. When you resize your bitmapped image, it only has so much information to work with, so the image degrades once it is manipulated away from its usual dimensions. I'm afraid a ViewBox won't help you get round the limitations of your jpeg file.

Yes thats my problem. I need to convert the bitmap image to Vector graphics. This can be done using Adobe Illustrator using XAML plugin. Thanks Anil

That's interesting. I didn't know that Illustrator could do that.

Pete, Illustrator has a plug-in to export vector images and scenes to xaml. It works great. The converting of bitmpat images to vector article is a done by tracing, I have not seen one yet that does a great job on complex photos.

Nice, although we are using Expression for our artwork (and looking into Zam3D based on Jammer's recommendation).

There are also utility apps for PSD - XAML converting, I've had limited success using this one here though as it can't handle complex PSD's. There are quite a few things potentially in a PSD that just don't map to any equivilent in XAML or WPF. I've been working with ZAM3D some more ... I'm even more impressed with it now than when I recommended it!!! I've had a few crashes which is unfortunate but to be expected with a v1 app I guess ...
