StreamGeometry combine

Question

I have complex StreamGeometry and I want to clip it. Unfortunately, it looks like StreamGeometry doesn\'t supports combine.

Here is a

You can definitely combine StreamGeometry objects. For this, you want to use a CombinedGeometry object. Here's a simple extension method for drawing polygons with holes:

public static void DrawPolygon(this DrawingContext context, Brush brush, Pen pen, IEnumerable exteriorRing, IEnumerable> interiorRings = null)
{
    StreamGeometry geo = new StreamGeometry();
    Geometry finalGeometry = geo;

    using (StreamGeometryContext ctxExterior = geo.Open())
    {
        ctxExterior.BeginFigure(exteriorRing.First(), (brush != null), true);
        ctxExterior.PolyLineTo(exteriorRing.Skip(1).ToArray(), (pen != null), false);

        if (interiorRings != null)
        {
            foreach (var ring in interiorRings)
            {
                var interiorGeometry = new StreamGeometry();

                using (var ctxInterior = interiorGeometry.Open())
                {
                    ctxInterior.BeginFigure(ring.First(), true, true);
                    ctxInterior.PolyLineTo(ring.Skip(1).ToArray(), (pen != null), false);
                }

                finalGeometry = new CombinedGeometry(GeometryCombineMode.Exclude, finalGeometry, interiorGeometry);
            }
        }
    }

    context.DrawGeometry(brush, pen, finalGeometry);
}
