Windows Presentation Foundation Engine Aero
Aero will work on almost all the new configurations, it will be harder to get on earlier. 128MB RAM graphics card compatible with AGP 4x (or higher) operating systems valid for DirectX 9 graphics with a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768 color 32bit. The Windows Aero theme is the Aero theme with all the 3D effects and transparency. This is only available if your graphics configuration allows and it is the theme that windows takes more system resources. It may then be interesting to change your theme with a second Aero theme with a bit less graphic effects and therefore lighter. To quickly change the subject, simultaneously click Ctrl + Shift + F9. Press again on these buttons to call the first theme.
Graphical Services
Windows Presentation Foundation engine
Aero
- All graphics (including desktop items like windows) are Direct3D applications.
- This aims to provide a unified avenue for displaying graphics, as well as more advanced graphical features.
- Routing the graphics through Direct3D allows Windows to offload graphics tasks to the Graphics Processing Unit found on the computer's graphics card. This reduces the workload on the computer's Central processing unit.
- Supports vector-based graphics, which allow lossless scaling.
- Supports 3D model rendering and interaction in 2D applications.
- Interactive 2D content can be overlaid on 3D surfaces, natively. 9
Interoperability
Windows Presentation Foundation engine
Aero
- WPF provides interoperability with Win32: Via hosting, one can use Windows Presentation Foundation inside existing Win32 code, or one can use existing Win32 code inside Windows Presentation Foundation. 10
- Interoperability with Windows Forms is also possible through the use of the ElementHost and WindowsFormsHost classes.
Media Services
- WPF provides shape primitives for 2D graphics along with a built-in set of brushes, pens, geometries, and transforms.
- The 3D capabilities in WPF are a subset of the full feature set provided by Direct3D. However, WPF provides tighter integration with other features like user interface (UI), documents, and media. This makes it possible to have 3D UI, 3D documents, and 3D media.
- There is support for most common image formats.
- WPF supports the video formats WMV, MPEG and some AVI files.
- WPF supports time-based animations, in contrast to the frame-based approach. This delinks the speed of the animation from how the system is performing.
- Text rendering is supported using ClearType. This provides for sub-pixel positioning, natural advance widths, and Y-direction anti-aliasing. WPF also supports OpenType font features.
Animations
- Time-based animation. Scene redraws are time triggered. 11
- Presentation timers are initialized and managed by WPF. 11
- Scene changes co-ordinated by using a storyboard. 11
- Animations can be triggered by other external events, including user action. 11
- Animation effects can be defined on a per-object basis, which can be accessed directly from XAML markup. 11
- Ships with a set of predefined effects, such as fade out for all controls. 11
Data binding
- WPF has a built-in set of data services to enable application developers to bind and manipulate data within applications. There exists support for three types of data binding:
- one time: where the client ignores updates on the server.
- one way: where the client has read-only access to data.
- two way: where client can read from and write data to the server.
- LINQ queries, specifically LINQ to XML, can also act as data sources for data binding. 9
- Binding of data has no bearing on its presentation. WPF provides data templates to control presentation of data.
User interface
- A set of built-in controls is provided as part of WPF, containing items such as button, menu, and list box. Lacks a DataGrid control but 3rd-party vendors are already offering some.
- A powerful concept in the WPF is the logical separation of a control from its appearance.
- A control's template can be overridden to completely change its visual appearance.
- A control can contain any other control or layout, allowing for unprecedented control over composition.
- Features retained mode graphics, so that applications do not have to be bothered with repainting the display.
Annotations
- Annotations can be applied on a per-object basis, for objects in a Document or FlowDocument.
