Public API

Property Description

Fill The color that fills the path. The default value is Black.

Stroke The color that strokes the path. The default value is Black.

IsFilled Specifies whether the path is filled.

IsStroked Specifies whether the path is stroked.

StrokeThickness The width of the stroke outline.

StrokeLineCap

Specifies the shape used at the ends of open paths when they are stroked. It can have one of the following values:

`Flat`	Flat line cap.
`Round`	Round line cap.
`Square`	Square line cap.

StrokeLineJoin

Specifies the shape used at the corners of stroked paths. Join styles are significant only at points where consecutive segments connect at an angle. Available options:

`Bevel`	Produces a diagonal corner.
`Miter`	Produces a sharp corner. If the segments meet at too sharp an angle, a bevel join is used instead.
`Round`	Produces a smooth, circular arc between the lines.

StrokeDashArray The pattern of dashes and gaps used to stroke paths.

StrokeDashOffset The distance from the start of a line to the beginning of a dash pattern.

AlphaConstant Specifies the constant shape or constant opacity value for nonstroking operations.

StrokeAlphaConstant Specifies the constant shape or constant opacity value for stroking operations.

MiterLimit The limit of the thickness of the join on a mitered corner.

Geometry The shape to draw. For more information, see Geometry.

Position Specifies the position of the path.

Method	Description
`Clone` (starting with Q2 2025)	Creates a deep copy of this document element.

Inserting a Path

Path is a content element designed for the Content collection of an IContainerElement such as RadFixedPage. You can use several approaches to add it.

Example 1 shows how to create a Path, assign a predefined Geometry to it, and add it to a container.

Example 1: Create Path and add it to container

RadFixedPage container = new RadFixedPage();
Path path1 = new Path();
path1.Geometry = geometry;
container.Content.Add(path1);

Example 2 demonstrates how to use one of the factory methods of the ContentElementCollection to create a new path and insert it into the document.

Example 2: Add Path to container

Path path2 = container.Content.AddPath();
path2.Geometry = geometry;

There are other methods that allow adding a path to a document. You can use them through the FixedContentEditor class.

Modifying a Path

You can modify a Path element using the properties the class exposes. The properties are listed in the Public API section.

Example 3: Modifying Path properties

RadFixedDocument document = new RadFixedDocument();
RadFixedPage page = document.Pages.AddPage();
FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(page);

RectangleGeometry rectangleGeometry = new RectangleGeometry();
rectangleGeometry.Rect = new Rect(10, 5, 400, 300);

Path path3 = new Path();
path3.Geometry = rectangleGeometry;

SimplePosition simplePosition = new SimplePosition();
simplePosition.Translate(20, 20);

path3.Fill = new RgbColor(255, 0, 255);
path3.Stroke = new RgbColor(0, 0, 255);
path3.IsFilled = true;
path3.IsStroked = true;
path3.StrokeThickness = 1;
path3.StrokeLineCap = Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Graphics.LineCap.Flat;
path3.StrokeLineJoin = Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Graphics.LineJoin.Round;
path3.StrokeDashArray = new double[] { 1 };
path3.StrokeDashOffset = 2;
path3.AlphaConstant = 0.5;
path3.StrokeAlphaConstant = 0.1;
path3.MiterLimit = 2;
path3.Position = simplePosition;

page.Content.Add(path3);
