Add shapes in Listview - xamarin form

I am using Xamarin.Form having android and ios project, I want to create add shapes in listview.
I search for same, we can use path class but dont know how to use it.
Please send me your solutions
Thanks

There is path class you can use it.
Path class have a data property. for example
<Path Data="M 10,100 L 100,100 100,50Z"
Stroke="Black"
Aspect="Uniform"
HorizontalOptions="Start" />
The Data string begins with the move command, indicated by M, which establishes an absolute start point for the path. L is the line command, which creates a straight line from the start point to the specified end point. Z is the close command, which creates a line that connects the current point to the starting point.
Please review link given below, path is added in listview:
https://xamarinuidesigns.blogspot.com/2021/12/listview-ui-design-2.html

You could use the Composite geometries.
<Path StrokeThickness="2" Fill="Orange">
<Path.Data>
<GeometryGroup FillRule="Nonzero">
<RectangleGeometry Rect="0,0,50,50" />
<EllipseGeometry RadiusX="25"
RadiusY="25"
Center="50,25" />
</GeometryGroup>
</Path.Data>
</Path>
Usage in Listview:
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding list}" RowHeight="60">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<Path StrokeThickness="2" Fill="Orange">
<Path.Data>
<GeometryGroup FillRule="Nonzero">
<RectangleGeometry Rect="0,0,50,50" />
<EllipseGeometry RadiusX="25"
RadiusY="25"
Center="50,25" />
</GeometryGroup>
</Path.Data>
</Path>
<Label Text="{Binding Name}"></Label>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>

Dynamically move object on canvas

Scenario as follows.
I have an canvas on which I want to move, lets say an rectangel, across the screen. The way the rectangle is supposed to move is determined by one specific path (like a railway, the rectangle is supposed to only move on the rails). The position on which the rectangle is currently located is provided by external source.
Current Location is provided every ~200-500ms.
So far I have tried the following:
simple TranslateTransform. Does the trick, but the rectangle jumps from Point a to b. No smooth Translation.
Storyboard with a doubleAnimation
Smoother, but the rectangle doesn´t follow the required path.
DoubleAnimationUsingPath. Rectangle is moving on the path. But now I am not able to provide the current position by external source.
Easiest for me would be a way to use an DoubleAnimationUsingPath and providing the X-Koordinate by external source.
But I am not sure if overall storyboards and animations are the best way to tackel that Problem.
If you know of any completely different Approach I am more than happy hear about it.
Kind regards

Just to get an idea of what can be done with animations, take a look at this little demo of a object moving along a track:
<Canvas>
<Canvas.Resources>
<PathGeometry x:Key="track">
<PathFigure StartPoint="200,100" IsClosed="True">
<LineSegment Point="300,100"/>
<ArcSegment SweepDirection="Clockwise"
Size="100,100" Point="300,300"/>
<LineSegment Point="200,300"/>
<ArcSegment SweepDirection="Clockwise"
Size="100,100" Point="200,100"/>
</PathFigure>
</PathGeometry>
</Canvas.Resources>
<Canvas.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Loaded">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<MatrixAnimationUsingPath
Storyboard.TargetName="train"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="RenderTransform.Matrix"
PathGeometry="{StaticResource track}"
DoesRotateWithTangent="True"
Duration="0:0:10"
RepeatBehavior="Forever"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Canvas.Triggers>
<Path Data="{StaticResource track}" Stroke="Black"
StrokeThickness="6"/>
<Path Data="{StaticResource track}" Stroke="White"
StrokeThickness="4" StrokeDashArray="2,2"/>
<Rectangle x:Name="train" Width="10" Height="6" Fill="Red"
Canvas.Left="-5" Canvas.Top="-3"
RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
<Rectangle.RenderTransform>
<MatrixTransform />
</Rectangle.RenderTransform>
</Rectangle>
</Canvas>

Not able to draw horizontal line on canvas if the value of x2 is more than 125020

I'm trying to draw lines on a canvas but i'm not able to draw it if the value of x2 is more than 125020. Please find the XAML code below.`I'm able to see lines if the value of x2 is equal to or below 125020.
<ScrollViewer Name="C1_S" Grid.Row="0" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" >
<Canvas Name="canvas_core0" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Height="640" Width="1000000" MouseWheel="Canvas_MouseWheel" >
<Line Stroke="Black" X1="20" Y1="20" X2="20" Y2="620" StrokeEndLineCap="Triangle" StrokeDashCap="Triangle" />
<Line Stroke="Black" X1="20" Y1="220" X2="125021" Y2="220" StrokeEndLineCap="Triangle" StrokeDashCap="Triangle" />
<Line Stroke="Black" X1="20" Y1="420" X2="{Binding ElementName=canvas_core0, Path=Width}" Y2="420" StrokeEndLineCap="Triangle" StrokeDashCap="Triangle" />

Can anyone help? Is there any limit for the length of a line while drawing on a canvas?

Huh, must be a bug with WPF drawing long horizontal lines.
I don't have a real answer for you but a work around might be to NOT draw horizontal lines. Instead draw nearly horizontal lines. If you change Y1 or Y2, but not both, from "220" to "220.00001" then the line is visible. Note that "220.000001" (one more 0) did not draw so that seems to be another limit of some sort.
I tested it with X2="125021000" (added three 0s) and the line still showed up.

Increasing the StrokeThickness (even only slightly) works.
I realise this answer is somewhat unsatisfactory but may help if you are desperate and is at least a clue.
I tried playing with UseLayoutRounding and SnapsToDevicePixels but couldn't make it work.
Interesting.

weird issue when drawing a forth and back path in wpf

I was drawing a series of points with Path in c# code. I just give an example in xaml.
So the polyline is from (20,37) to (20,36) and returns to (20,37). It is supposed to be very short, right? But it turns to be a segment roughly 9dp long.
if I simply draw from (20,37) to (20,36), it behaves normal. Because the points are drawn in real-time that I cannot do preprocessing.
Why is that and how to solve it?
<Path Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="2">
<Path.Data>
<PathGeometry>
<PathFigure StartPoint="20,37">
<PathFigure.Segments>
<LineSegment Point="20,36"/>
<LineSegment Point="20,37"/>
</PathFigure.Segments>
</PathFigure>
</PathGeometry>
</Path.Data>
</Path>

change StrokeMiterLimit of Path (default is 10)
<Path Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="2" StrokeMiterLimit="1">

How do you set a Translate Transform to an ImageBrush within a Path?

I have the following simple path. But everytime in Expression Blend I try and set a translate transform to its image brush the image disappears. Ideally the fill should be none. I need to dynamicly set the x and y of the image within the brush if possible. If you have done this in C# that would be fine as well. Or am I mistaken and this just cant be done?
<Path Data="M0.5,0.5 L99.5,0.5 L99.5,439.5 L0.5,439.5 z" Fill="#BFF31313" Height="440" Canvas.Left="192" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="Black" Canvas.Top="176" Width="100" Visibility="Collapsed">
<Path.Fill>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="4x4.png" Stretch="None"/>
</Path.Fill>
</Path>

Something like this?
<Path Data="M0.5,0.5 L99.5,0.5 L99.5,439.5 L0.5,439.5 z" Fill="#BFF31313" Height="440" Canvas.Left="192" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="Black" Canvas.Top="176" Width="100" Visibility="Collapsed">
<Path.Fill>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="4x4.png" Stretch="None">
<ImageBrush.Transform>
<TranslateTransform X="10" Y="10"/>
</ImageBrush.Transform>
</ImageBrush>
</Path.Fill>
</Path>
