If I have the following four properties in my DataContext of my Canvas element
Point Center
double Radius
double StartAngle
double EndAngle
can I draw an arc without any extra code behind?
If I have the following four properties in my DataContext of my Canvas element

Providing a custom component turned out to be the best solution. I use it like this in my code
<Controls:Arc Center="{Binding Path=PreviousMousePositionPixels}"
Stroke="White"
StrokeDashArray="4 4"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
StartAngle="0"
EndAngle="{Binding Path=DeltaAngle}"
SmallAngle="True"
Radius="40" />
SmallAngle
when true
will render the small angle between the points irrespective of order of StartAngle
and EndAngle
. When SmallAngle
is false
the arc is rendered counter clockwise.
The implementation is
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
public sealed class Arc : Shape
{
public Point Center
{
get => (Point)GetValue(CenterProperty);
set => SetValue(CenterProperty, value);
}
// Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for Center. This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
public static readonly DependencyProperty CenterProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(Center), typeof(Point), typeof(Arc),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(new Point(), FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsRender));
public double StartAngle
{
get => (double)GetValue(StartAngleProperty);
set => SetValue(StartAngleProperty, value);
}

set => SetValue(EndAngleProperty, value);
}
// Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for EndAngle. This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
public static readonly DependencyProperty EndAngleProperty =

new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(Math.PI / 2.0, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsRender));

if (SmallAngle)
{

d = (a1 - a0) > Math.PI ? SweepDirection.Counterclockwise : SweepDirection.Clockwise;
}
else
large = (Math.Abs(a1 - a0) < Math.PI);

May I offer a slightly different solution?

Usage:
<!--Centerd on Parent-->
<local:ArcII Center="0,0"
OverrideCenter="True"
StartAngle="150"
SweepAngle="240"
Radius="100"
Stroke="Red"
StrokeThickness="3"
/>
<!--Centerd on Parent-->
<local:ArcII Center="0,0"
OverrideCenter="True"
StartAngle="150"
SweepAngle="240"
Radius="95"
Stroke="Red"
StrokeThickness="3"
/>
<!--Centerd on Parent-->
<local:ArcII Center="0,0"
OverrideCenter="True"
StartAngle="150"
SweepAngle="240"
Radius="90"
Stroke="Red"
StrokeThickness="3"
/>
<!--Centerd on Point-->
<local:ArcII Center="0,150"
OverrideCenter="False"
StartAngle="270"
SweepAngle="180"
Radius="100"
/>
<!--Centerd on Point-->
<local:ArcII Center="525,150"
OverrideCenter="False"
StartAngle="90"
SweepAngle="180"
Radius="100"
/>
Notes: A) This will not do a 360 SweepAngle, for that use an ellipse. B) OverrideCenter: This puts the center of the Arc in the center of its parent. Note that elements like a Grid that can be partitioned, still have a center, which may not be the column or row the Arc is in.
