2nd Legend canvas not showing in wpf chart

I've been struggling with this for some time now. The problem relates to adding a second legend canvas in a wpf chart. I'm referencing Jack Yu's book Practical WPF Charts and Graphics LineChartWithLegend.xaml file. In the xaml file, I added the new legend canvas named "legendCanvas2". I've changed the code behind to add a second instance of the legend in the AddChart() method. The problem is the second legend does not show inside chartCanvas. I suspect this issue has to do with multiple canvas containers inside chartCanvas but not sure. Any help with alternative ways I can display two legends inside chartCanvas would be appreciated.

EllipseGeometry Shrink & Fade Without Exceeding Canvas Bounds in C# WPF

How to make animation stay within the canvas at bigger sizes when the user clicks around the edge of the canvas? Currently, if sizes are too big and if user clicks near the edge of the canvas, the ellipse will grow outside of the canvas to cover the buttons. I need the animation to stay within the canvas to make it look like a slice of pizza essentially.
Should look like this:
Size 50 where user clicks near top left of canvas
Currently looks like this:
Size 50 where user clicks near top left of canvas

So you don't need the ellipse to stay within the Canvas, but you want to clip away the parts leaving it, right? Just set ClipToBounds (of Canvas) to true (can be done in Xaml).

Your guidance is highly appreciated!
Thanks!

The sender is the ellipse that raised the event, so you can replace this:
Ellipse objTextbox = ellipse1;
with this;
Ellipse objTextbox = (Ellipse)sender;
As long as you only assign the event to ellipses this is safe. If it gets assigned to other object types you'll need to check the type of sender before casting.
You don't need the name of the object.

Just found out by changing the Ellipse to Grid and everything works like cham..
Ellipse objTextbox = (Ellipse)sender;
change to
Grid objTextbox = (Grid)sender;
Thanks!

Image control and Image resizing when Stretch is set to Uniform

I have this peculiar problem. I am having a user control . I am making an app for Windows 8.1 where I would choose an image from my Picture gallery. The image would open in my app with Stretch is Uniform and Horizontal And vertical alignment to center.
My user control will appear where I tap on the image. Now the problem is , when the image Stretch was none , I was able to magnify the correct region (around my click) , but now when I make it Stretch to Uniform and Set the horizontal and vertical Alignment to Center , I am getting other pixel information in my user control.
I want to know how to fix it.Any how , the images can be of 2*Full HD also or they can be HD or even less.
Secondly , I want to know the boundaries of the image . With boundaries I want to say that , my user control shouldnt go above the boundaries of the image .
How to implement that. If my code is needed , I would paste it , If required.
Have this video for reference . This is what I have to develop ! I have the user control ready and I am getting exact pixels for Stretch=NONE , and no Horizontal And Vertical Alignment set.
This is my code for my app

I believe the issue is with how you use the control, rather than the image. If you avoid doing the bitmap cropping and replacing, it would speed up dramatically and likely work for all stretch types.
I've modified the source to show this - removing the Cropping completely. If you need cropping for other reasons, you should consider using the unsafe keyword (and property setting to allow) in order to dramatically speed up its use.
Also, to avoid the lagging/jumping upward, I added IsHitTestVisible="False" so that your delta wouldn't be interrupted by hovering over your image.
I see you have the 45-degree code already - since it wasn't in your source, I only added an example of 90 degree rotation when you get to the sides - so you can see how to set a RenderTransformOrigin point.

<Image x:Name="image1" Height="100" Width="100" Margin="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" ManipulationDelta="Image_ManipulationDelta_1" ManipulationMode="All">

private void Image_ManipulationDelta_1(object sender, ManipulationDeltaRoutedEventArgs e)
{
var imag = (CompositeTransform)image1.RenderTransform;
imag.TranslateX += e.Delta.Translation.X;
imag.TranslateY += e.Delta.Translation.Y;}

You already have the code:
CompositeTransform imgTrans = image1.TransformToVisual(canvas1);
Windows.Foundation.Point imgPoint = imgTrans.TransformPoint(new Windows.Foundation.Point());
var imag = (CompositeTransform)image1.RenderTransform;
if (imgPoint.X <= 0)
{
imag .TranslateX -= imgPoint.X + 5;
imag .TranslateY += e.Delta.Translation.Y;
}
