How do I create WPF graphics using the Expression Graphic Designer?

The Expression Graphic Designer (code-named Acrylic) is capable of saving out assets to Xaml using the File > Export > Xaml Export from the main menu. The assets can be exported as elements in a canvas, or as a resource (suitable for embedding in your application).

Exporting graphics from Acrylic to Xaml format

 Unfortunately unlike the Expression Interactive Designer (code-named Sparkle) Xaml is not the "native format" of Acrylic, so the export process is one-way. The representation in Xaml is quite good however, even for assets that contain both vector and raster (bitmap) layers.
