How do I implement high performance 3D graphics w/ WPF?

Question

Hi,

I have to develop a CAD application and I am planing to use WPF with C#. Earlier I had used GDI+ with C# to write similar application.

How can I perform the graphics operation in WPF similar to GDI+?

I want to set the pixel color with pencil (similar to MS Paint), draw some basic shapes such as circles, lines, rectangles etc etc.

I am planning to use canvas. Some one have any example?

Thanks

Answer 2

Check out Kael Rowan`s ZoomableCanvas. It provides Virtualization and may be more suitable for heavy graphics scenarios than the default Canvas.
