WPF Recursion Controls

WPF Recursion Controls presents a simple language for drawing pictures that illustrates
the power of data abstraction and closure, and also exploits higher-order procedures
in an essential way. The language is designed to make it easy to experiment with
patterns such as the ones in figure , which are composed of repeated elements that
are shifted and scaled. In this language, the data objects being combined are represented
as procedures rather than as list structure.

Beside Sample:

The XAML code:

<E4D:Beside Width="512" Height="256" Content="Beside">
                 <!-- Can be any UIElement-->
    		<Image Source="..\Images\E4D.png" Stretch="Fill"/> 
</E4D:Beside>

The Function code:

public static UIElement Below( this UIElement source )
{
            UIElement cloned = source.Clone();
            return Below( source, cloned );
}
public static UIElement Below( this UIElement source, UIElement element )
{
            Grid g = new Grid();
            RowDefinition r1 = new RowDefinition ();
            r1.Height = new GridLength ( 0.5 , GridUnitType.Star );
            RowDefinition r2 = new RowDefinition();
            r2.Height = new GridLength ( 0.5 , GridUnitType.Star );
            g.RowDefinitions.Add( r1 );
            g.RowDefinitions.Add( r2 );
            g.ShowGridLines = ShowGridLines;
            g.Children.Add( source );
            g.Children.Add( element );
            Grid.SetRow( source, 0 );
            Grid.SetRow( element, 1 );
 
            return g;
}
