Using Mini Path Language to create my PathGeometries ?

Question

I'm a newbie when it comes to Direct2D so apologies upfront if this question sounds stupid..

I'm using Expression Design to create some really nice vector assets, they're actually Path's and I can easily get the mini-path-language data for these assets.

Does anyone know if it's possible to create my Direct2D PathGeometries from this mini-path-language data assets?

I'm dreading that the answer is no and that I have to create my complex D2D PathGeometries using lots of D2D1_Points, which honestly will take me ages.. (i.e. if I need to create my pathGeometries like this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee264309(v=vs.85).aspx  its going to take forever :(  )

Anyway any advice would be great either way!

Answer 1

I solved this by creating a converter myself that turns mini-path-language to a Direct2D PathGeometry. I had help from an existing Silverlight geometry converter, that I tweaked ..

I have a demo and the sample code here for those interested :
