I need to render thousand of ellipses linked each others with lines.
What would be the best way (in terms of performances) to render it inside a WPF application. Is WPF Canvas painting a lot worse than XNA painting ?
Actually, the hidden question is : is it possible to do some xna-rendering inside a WPF host ? I saw some examples that used a borderless xna window overlay, but no native soluation…
Thanks,
Aurélien
If done right you can get some pretty high performance in WPF rendering which hast the advantage that you don’t have to take the WPF-XNA interop pain. You can render (and animate) a very large amount of visuals if you use the low level rendering APIs of WPF such as CompositionTarget.Rendering and DrawingContext. You can also take take advantage of the new Cached Composition feature in .net 4.0. There is plenty more just take this as the starting point.
