Merry Christmas.  To celebrate the holiday, here\u2019s a quick Christmas tree written in WPK (the WPF PowerShell Kit).  You can get WPK as part of the PowerShellPack (http:\/\/code.msdn.microsoft.com\/PowerShellPack<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a screenshot:<\/p>\n

\"XmasTree\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

and Here\u2019s the script:<\/p>\n

Import-Module<\/span> WPK<\/span>\nNew-Polygon<\/span> -Points<\/span> {<\/span>\n    # Start from the top<\/span>\n    "87.5,0"<\/span>\n    # Left Side of Tree<\/span>\n    "0,150"<\/span>\n    "75,140"<\/span>\n    # Bottom of Tree<\/span>\n    "75,175"<\/span>\n    "95,175"<\/span>\n    # Right Side of Tree<\/span>\n    "95,140"<\/span>\n    "175,150"<\/span>\n    # Back to the top<\/span>\n    "87.5,0"<\/span>\n}<\/span> -On_SizeChanged<\/span> {<\/span>\n    if<\/span> (<\/span>$_<\/span>.<\/span>PreviousSize<\/span>.<\/span>Width<\/span> -eq<\/span> 0<\/span> -and<\/span>\n        $_<\/span>.<\/span>PreviousSize<\/span>.<\/span>Height<\/span> -eq<\/span> 0<\/span>)<\/span> {<\/span>\n        $this<\/span>.<\/span>Resources<\/span>.<\/span>OriginalSize<\/span> =<\/span> $_<\/span>.<\/span>NewSize<\/span>\n    }<\/span> else<\/span> {<\/span>\n        $originalSize<\/span> =<\/span> $this<\/span>.<\/span>Resources<\/span>.<\/span>OriginalSize<\/span>\n        $ScaleX<\/span> =<\/span> $_<\/span>.<\/span>NewSize<\/span>.<\/span>Width<\/span>  \/<\/span>$originalSize<\/span>.<\/span>Width<\/span>\n        $ScaleY<\/span> =<\/span> $_<\/span>.<\/span>NewSize<\/span>.<\/span>Height<\/span> \/<\/span> $originalSize<\/span>.<\/span>Height<\/span>\n        $this<\/span>.<\/span>RenderTransform<\/span> =<\/span> New-ScaleTransform<\/span> -ScaleX<\/span> $ScaleX<\/span> -ScaleY<\/span> $ScaleY<\/span>\n    }<\/span>\n}<\/span> -BitmapEffect<\/span> {<\/span>\n    New-BevelBitmapEffect<\/span> -BevelWidth<\/span> 1<\/span>\n}<\/span> -Fill<\/span> DarkGreen<\/span> -AsJob<\/span>                                    <\/pre>\n
It\u2019s only about 30 lines, but this script has tons of Christmas goodies.  It shows an example of how to create any random polygon with a simple list of points, how to resize that polygon to whatever size the control need to be, and how to apply a quick bitmap effect to an image.<\/p>\n
Hope this Helps,<\/p>\n
