Features of WPF
- Resolution Independence
- WPF elements are independent of screen
resolution.
- WPF applications are scalable.
- It uses vector graphics.
- Uses device independent unit (1/96 of inch)
- [Physical Unit] = [DIU] * [System DPI]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/introducingwpfandxaml-130916020601-phpapp01/85/Introducing-WPFand-XAML-6-320.jpg)
