How to: Customize the Appearance of a Vector Element

This example shows how to customize the visual representation of a map shape element (MapRectangle).

To change the appearance of a map shape (MapRectangle), use the corresponding appearance properties of the MapShape class (e.g., MapShapeBase.Fill, MapShapeBase.HighlightFill, MapShapeBase.StrokeStyle).

<Window x:Class="MapShapeAppearance.MainWindow"
