How to draw text on Canvas

Question

Currently, I am able to add various Shape on Canvas by

canvas.Children.Add(line);
canvas.Children.Add(polyLine);
//...

But, how can we draw text, with various font size, font type, ... on it?

Answer 1

Add TextBlock to canvas's children.

Answer 2

In this example, they are not drawing on canvas but detecting pointer movements and than adding line shapes to the canvas. So I think you cannot draw on canvas directly. There is another post that talks about Drawing Context, so you might want to look into it.
