Path element of Siverlight issue

Question

Hello everyone,

Suppose I have the following XAML code, my confusions are, (1) I do not know the exact meaning of Data attribute, especially items starts with letter M/C, (2) there is no special configuration for TransformGroup (all using default settings), why put the TransformGroup here?

  <Path Height="2.75" Width="2.75" Data="M2.75,1.375 C2.75,2.1343915 2.1343915,2.75 1.375,2.75 C0.61560845,2.75 0,2.1343915 0,1.375 C0,0.61560845 0.61560845,0 1.375,0 C2.1343915,0 2.75,0.61560845 2.75,1.375 z" Fill="#FF9F9B9B" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="#FF000000" StrokeThickness="0" Canvas.Top="7" x:Name="p3">
  <Path.RenderTransform>
    <TransformGroup>
     <ScaleTransform/>
     <SkewTransform/>
     <RotateTransform/>
     <TranslateTransform/>
    </TransformGroup>
   </Path.RenderTransform>
  </Path>

thanks in advance, George

Answer 1

1) M: move, L: line, C: curve, etc. Check out this tutorial.

2) That's just been added, no use.

I advise you to load the XAML into a XAML editor, and you'll see these in action. Writing / understanding XAML without a WYSIWYG editor is a horror.
