When should I use the Path mini-language?

Use the Path mini-language (StreamGeometry syntax) for defining complex vector paths concisely within XAML. It is ideal for icons and intricate shapes because it is more performant and less verbose than nested XML geometry tags.

Does this skill support boolean operations on shapes?

Yes, it covers CombinedGeometry which allows for Union, Intersect, Exclude, and Xor operations to create complex shapes from multiple simpler geometries.

What is the difference between Shape and Geometry in WPF?

Shapes are FrameworkElements that participate in the layout system and support input events (clicks, etc.), while Geometry objects are lightweight, mathematical descriptions used for rendering without the overhead of the layout system.

How can I improve WPF graphics performance?

To optimize performance, use StreamGeometry instead of PathGeometry, use DrawingVisual for large numbers of static elements, and always call the Freeze() method on brushes and geometries to make them immutable.
