Ellipse and Shapes #54

Open SkyeHoefling opened 7 years ago

SkyeHoefling commented 7 years ago

The Ellipse control is supported in WPF and UWP but it is not supported in Xamarin.Forms. When creating custom controls it is useful to have Ellipse controls and/or shape controls that are fully functioning. This allows the developers to get a very simple graphic and apply several different styling techniques to it without needed a designer.

When I switched over from WPF/UWP to Xamarin.Forms I found the lack of Shapes and especially Ellipse a very lacking feature

Indeed I also uses Ellipse and Rectangle in Xaml. With some basic shape and creatively selected background we can do almost anything!
