Image Flipping in WPF

Question

How do you get an image to be reflected in wpf without using the xaml? I have a rectangle with a BitmapImageBrush as its fill. I want to be able to regularly flip this image (X-axis) back and forth at will in C#. I've read about using the ScaleTransform property but this only seems to work in the xaml and that's not what I want.

This is how the image is created:

ImageBrush l = new ImageBrush(new BitmapImage(new Uri(uriPath, UriKind.Relative)));
_animation.Add(l);

_visual = new Rectangle();
_visual.Fill = _animation[0];
_visual.Width = width;
_visual.Height = height;
_visual.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
_window.GameCanvas.Children.Add(_visual);

_animation is a list of ImageBrushes. This is really simple, yet I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Please help.

You can still add a scale transform programmatically, rather than using xaml.

For instance, in this article.

To do the flip, set your scale transform to be negative in the direction you want to flip (ie, if horizontal, set x to -1, or -desiredScale if you also want to resize).
