compound pens in WPF

Hi,

In GDI+ it was possible to create compound pens using
SetCompoundArray. Is this possible in WPF? I've only just started
poking around, but it looks like the idea of pens/brushes is gone and
has been replaced by just brushes. Is that correct? If it is possible,
would anyone be able to tell me where in the relevant docs I could
look to find some info?

Cheers,

Ad.

Pens really are just brushes with a thickness. One alternative idea,
depending on what you're trying to accomplish would be to use the OnRender
method of UIElement and custom draw the lines needed to make the
CompoundArray pen. Depending on the complexity of the shape however, I
realize that could be extremely complicated. Unfortunately, the Pen class is
sealed so you can't override its behavior.
