3D line with Shadow effect

Hello there. How do I create 3D line (should I use a special Brush for that) I'd like my line to be some sort of a cord with the shadow effect.

 

thanks

3D line with Shadow effect

    Hi David, sorry for that, it really did sound confusing. Actually, I want them both :) For the meantime - the second one has a priority. It can be spitted by 2 parts:

    1. How do I create 3D looking line. Moreover I'd be looking for a curve example as well, having the same look as 3D line.

    2. How do I create shadowed line - is it supported at the visuals level - is there any agnostic to visual type algorithm

    thanks

    Could you clarify your question a little bit Do you want to actually specify the endpoints of your line with three dimensions (x,y,z), or do you want a 2D line with a shadow that "looks like it's 3D"

    Hi Alex,

    Try looking at the samples linked off of Mike's website, he has some great examples of 3D-like XAML. He wrote an AdobeIllustrator-->XAML exporter, which you can use for your own icon.
