You are certainly correct that the effects available in the Composition API are limited. One glaring omission is the inability to simply tile a bitmap as a repeating pattern -- on a Panel, for example. I know that this can be done in Direct 2D, by setting the edge behavior. An I know that there is a way to drop down to Direct 2D from the Composition API. But I don't understand enough to do it or to see how it all fits together. Can you help by showing how to do it?
Apologies for posting this as an issue, I was not able to leave a comment on the xamlbrewer WordPress site.
