Constructing shapes for a legend

DonFreeman — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:41:47 GMT

In order to gain better control I have created my own map legend like this:

<Grid Name="legendGrid" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="5,15,15,5"  >

      <Rectangle Fill="LightGray" 
       RadiusX="10" 
       RadiusY="10" 
       Margin="0,10,10,0" 
       Height="Auto" 
       Width="250" 
       Stroke="SaddleBrown"  
       StrokeThickness="4">
       <Rectangle.Effect>
        <DropShadowEffect/>
       </Rectangle.Effect>
      </Rectangle>

      <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="20,20,30,0">
       <TextBlock Width="200" 
       TextWrapping="Wrap" 
       Text="Select the layers you would like to view." 
       FontWeight="Bold" 
       HorizontalAlignment="Center" />       

       <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,20,0,0">
        <Rectangle Fill="Red" Height="10" Width="10" RadiusX="5" RadiusY="5" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
        <CheckBox Name="AirPlanning_Checkbox" IsChecked="True" Click="AirPlanning_Checkbox_Click">
         <TextBlock Text="Tucson Air Planning Area" />
        </CheckBox>
       </StackPanel>

       <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,20,0,0">
        <Rectangle Fill="Blue" Height="10" Width="10" RadiusX="5" RadiusY="5" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
        <CheckBox Name="MonitoringSites_Checkbox" IsChecked="True" Click="MonitoringSites_Checkbox_Click">
         <TextBlock Text="Pima Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) monitors" />
        </CheckBox>
       </StackPanel>

       <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,20,0,0">
        <Rectangle Fill="Red" Height="10" Width="10" RadiusX="5" RadiusY="5" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
        <CheckBox Name="TucsonCOMaint_Checkbox" IsChecked="false" Click="TucsonCOMaint_Checkbox_Click">
         <TextBlock Text="Tucson CO Maintenance Area" />
        </CheckBox>
       </StackPanel>

       <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,20,0,0">
        <Rectangle Fill="Blue" Height="10" Width="10" RadiusX="5" RadiusY="5" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
        <CheckBox Name="RillitoPM10_Checkbox" IsChecked="false" Click="RillitoPM10_Checkbox_Click">
         <TextBlock Text="Rillito PM10 NonAttainment Area" />
        </CheckBox>
       </StackPanel>

       <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,20,0,0">
        <Rectangle Fill="Magenta" Height="10" Width="10" RadiusX="5" RadiusY="5" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
        <CheckBox Name="AjoPM10_Checkbox" IsChecked="False" Click="AjoPM10_Checkbox_Click">
         <TextBlock Text="Ajo PM10 NonAttainment / SO2 Maintenance Area" />
        </CheckBox>
       </StackPanel>

       <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,20,0,0">
        <Rectangle Fill="Green" Height="10" Width="10" RadiusX="5" RadiusY="5" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
        <CheckBox Name="Schools_Checkbox" IsChecked="False" Click="Schools_Checkbox_Click">
         <TextBlock Text="Schools" />
        </CheckBox>
       </StackPanel>

       <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,20,0,0">
        <Rectangle Fill="#A80000" Height="10" Width="10" RadiusX="0" RadiusY="0" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
        <CheckBox Name="Hospitals_Checkbox" IsChecked="False" Click="Hospitals_Checkbox_Click">
         <TextBlock Text="Hospitals" />
        </CheckBox>
       </StackPanel>       

       <TextBlock Text="Please be patient. It may take a minute for the map to load." TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="10"/>

       <!--<TextBox Name="errortext"></TextBox>-->

      </StackPanel>
     </Grid>

I need now to modify some of the shapes and change them from dots to things like triangles. I can create a marker symbol in the shape of a triangle, but is there a way to place it to replace the rectangles I have shown above? Or, is there another way other than creating an image?
Thanks
