How to: Make an Element Spin in Place

This example shows how to make an element spin by using a xref:System.Windows.Media.RotateTransform and a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.DoubleAnimation.

The following example applies the xref:System.Windows.Media.RotateTransform to the xref:System.Windows.UIElement.RenderTransform%2A property of the element. The example uses a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.DoubleAnimation to animate the xref:System.Windows.Media.RotateTransform.Angle%2A of the xref:System.Windows.Media.RotateTransform. To make the element spin in place, the example sets the xref:System.Windows.UIElement.RenderTransformOrigin%2A property of the element to the point (0.5, 0.5).
