    MapLine.StartLineCap Property

    Specifies MapLine start cap settings.

    Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Map

    Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Map.v25.1.dll

    NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Map

    #Declaration

    public MapLineCap StartLineCap { get; set; }

    #Property Value

    Type Description
    MapLineCap

    Contains MapLine start cap settings.

    #Remarks

    #Display the Default Arrow

    Use the StartLineCap property to display a shape at the beginning of a map line. The default cap shape is an arrow. Set the Visible property to true to display the arrow:

    <dxm:VectorLayer x:Name="vectorLayer">
        <dxm:MapItemStorage>
            <dxm:MapLine Point1="-3, -10" Point2="-10, -28"  Stroke="Blue">
                <dxm:MapLine.StrokeStyle>
                    <dxm:StrokeStyle Thickness="2"/>
                </dxm:MapLine.StrokeStyle>
                <dxm:MapLine.StartLineCap>
                    <dxm:MapLineCap Visible="True"/>
                </dxm:MapLine.StartLineCap>
            </dxm:MapLine>
        </dxm:MapItemStorage>
    </dxm:VectorLayer>
    

    Result:

    Display MapLine start cap

    #Display a Custom Shape

    To display a custom shape, set the MapLineCap.Geometry property to the PathGeometry object that defines a cap shape.

    Use the MapLineCap.Width and MapLineCap.Length properties to specify dimensions of the default arrow or a custom shape.

    The following example defines a custom start cap shape and its dimensions:

    <dxm:MapLine.StartLineCap>
        <dxm:MapLineCap  Visible="True" Length="25" Width="15">
            <dxm:MapLineCap.Geometry>
                <PathGeometry Figures="M-0.38,-0.5 L 0.44,-0.05 C 0.44,-0.05 0.5,0 0.44,0.05 
                                       L 0.44,0.05 L -0.38,0.5 C -0.38,0.5 -0.44,0.5 -0.41,0.4 L -0.41,0.4 
                                       L -0.13,0 L -0.41,-0.4 C -0.41,-0.4 -0.44,-0.475 -0.38,-0.5 Z"/>
            </dxm:MapLineCap.Geometry>
        </dxm:MapLineCap>
    </dxm:MapLine.StartLineCap>
    

    Result:

    Display MapLine custom start cap shape
