copied!<p>I had a quick look at the existing brushes using the <a href="http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/" rel="noreferrer">Reflector</a>. It seems like their implementation is pretty closed up and depends on lots of <code>internal</code> plumbing. While it might be possible to implement your own brush it seems like it is not a supported option. It could even be that the WPF controls are tied tightly to the existing brushes and will not work with a custom one.</p> <p>Most likely the best way to achieve something resembling custom brushes is to use the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.media.drawingbrush.aspx" rel="noreferrer">DrawingBrush</a> with some complex drawing logic. You can compose drawing brush from complex shapes using other brushes so this should let you achieve the required goal.</p> <p><strong>Update after edit</strong></p> <p>As this is for education, you might be best off downloading the Reflector and using that to see how the brushes work. They are not meant to be self-implemented and since they rely on some <code>internal</code> classes to which programmers do not have access normally it will be quite hard to do so.</p> <p>Though what makes it interesting is that the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.media.brush.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Brush documentation</a> does have a remark for inheritors to guide in the correct way to inherit from the Brush.</p> <p><strong>More updates</strong></p> <p>When poking around I found a quite neat way to achieve something similar on a <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=fi&js=n&u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.csdn.net%2Fxeonol%2Farchive%2F2007%2F12%2F17%2F1943067.aspx&sl=zh-CN&tl=en" rel="noreferrer">chinese blog</a>. The trick there is to use a markup extension so it just looks like a brush. In reality it creates a new image brush based on its attributes. Seems he came to the same conclusion that there are some internal classes which prevent the easy implementation.</p>
