Description

Fixes an issue where thick lines (StrokeThickness > 1) were not being centered properly around their path coordinates. Instead, they extended asymmetrically, as shown in the reproduction case:

XAML Code

Visual Issue

The right-hand red line with StrokeThickness="10" was expanding further to the right instead of growing symmetrically around its center point, while the thin black line with StrokeThickness="1" rendered correctly.

Root Cause

The issue was in the TransformPathForBounds method in Shape.cs, where stroke thickness adjustments were being applied uniformly to all shapes. This approach works correctly for filled shapes like rectangles and ellipses, but incorrectly shifts line coordinates:

// Previous problematic code
viewBounds.X += StrokeThickness / 2;
viewBounds.Y += StrokeThickness / 2;
viewBounds.Width -= StrokeThickness;
viewBounds.Height -= StrokeThickness;

For lines, the stroke should extend naturally on both sides of the line path without affecting the path position.

Solution

Modified TransformPathForBounds to skip stroke thickness bounds adjustment for Line shapes with Stretch.None (the default). Lines should use their exact coordinates with stroke extending symmetrically:

// For Line shapes with Stretch.None, don't adjust viewBounds for stroke thickness
// as this causes incorrect positioning. Lines should use exact coordinates.
bool isLineWithNoStretch = this is Shapes.Line && Aspect == Stretch.None;
if (!isLineWithNoStretch)
{
    viewBounds.X += StrokeThickness / 2;
    viewBounds.Y += StrokeThickness / 2;
    viewBounds.Width -= StrokeThickness;
    viewBounds.Height -= StrokeThickness;
}

Testing

  • Original issue: Lines with thick strokes now preserve exact coordinates
  • Thin lines: Lines with StrokeThickness="1" continue to work correctly
  • Other shapes: Rectangle and other shapes still receive proper stroke thickness adjustment
  • Backward compatibility: No breaking changes to existing functionality

The fix is minimal and surgical, affecting only the specific problematic case while preserving all other behaviors.

Fixes #21.
