This project contains (or will contain) vector-based busy indicators for XAML/WPF that scale to any needed size. When looking for "spinners" to show when the application was busy I could only find controls online that assumed a fixed size, say 20-40 pixels.
But often I wanted an indicator to stretch to the parent or container or simply wanted to set to size to some arbitrary number. Using something raster-based is not a good choice due to pixelation. So I developed this project to server as a collection.
The original spinner paths were created in CAD as DWG and then converted to Adobe Illustrator AI files after exporting to DXF. The paths created in the AI were copy/pasted over to XAML via a text editor so Illustrator is not needed. The following resources can be used for anyone interested in editing or creating their own:
- FreeCAD Open Source Project
- BabaCAD Free CAD Software
- Convert DXF to AI file
- Convert DXF to SVG file (and others)
