Description: The Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) changes all this by introducing a newmodel with entirely different plumbing. Although WPF includes the standard controls you refamiliar with, it draws every text, border, and background fill itself. As a result, WPF can pro-vide much more powerful features that let you alter the way any piece of screen content isrendered. Using these features, you can restyle common controls such as buttons, often with-out writing any code. Similarly, you can use transformation objects to rotate, stretch, scale, and skew anything in your user interface, and you can even use WPF s baked-in animationsystem to do it right before the user s eyes. And because the WPF engine renders the contentfor a window as part of a single operation, it can handle unlimited layers of overlapping con-trols, even if these controls are irregularly shaped and partially transparent.
