Center text at a given point on a WPF Canvas

Center text at a given point on a WPF Canvas

To center text at a given point on a WPF Canvas, you can use a combination of TextBlock and positioning properties. Here's an example:

<Canvas Width="500" Height="300"> <TextBlock Text="Centered Text" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Canvas.Left="200" Canvas.Top="150" /> </Canvas>

In this example, we have a Canvas with a specified width and height. The TextBlock is used to display the centered text. The HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment properties are set to "Center" to center the text both horizontally and vertically within the available space.

The Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top properties are set to the desired coordinates where you want to center the text. In this case, the text will be centered at coordinates (200, 150) on the Canvas.

You can adjust the Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top properties to position the text at a different point on the Canvas, and the Text property of the TextBlock to set the text content.

By using these properties and values, you can center text at a given point on a WPF Canvas.
