The Clip property takes a Geometry type that can be a line, rectangle, ellipse, or group geometry.

The following XAML code snippet uses an Image object to display an image.

<Image Source="Raj 059.JPG"
Width="300"
Height="300">
</Image>

The output looks like Figure 1.

The XAML code in Listing 1 sets the Image.Clip property to an EllipseGeometry and sets the RadiusX, RadiusY, and Center properties of the geometry.

<Image Source="Raj 059.JPG" Width="300" Height="300">
 <Image.Clip>
<EllipseGeometry
 RadiusX="100"
 RadiusY="100"
 Center="120,120"/>
 </Image.Clip>
</Image>
The new output looks like Figure 2.

Since the Clip property is defined in the UIElement, it can be applied to any element. For example, the following code generates a rectangle looks like Figure 3.

<Rectangle Width="300" Height="200"
Stroke="Red"
StrokeThickness="4"
Fill="Green">
</Rectangle>

Now we can apply clipping on the rectangle and the new output looks like Figure 4 with the following code.

<Rectangle Width="300" Height="200"
Stroke="Red"
StrokeThickness="4"
Fill="Green">
 <Rectangle.Clip>
<EllipseGeometry
RadiusX="150"
RadiusY="100"
Center="150,100"/>
 </Rectangle.Clip>
</Rectangle>
