Cant override DefiningGeometry of Shape in WinUI 3

Question

i'm trying to create a Custom Shape (Triangle) but I can't find the right way to get a Custom Shape working.

In WPF I'm used to overriding DefiningGeometry, but using WinUI 3 there is nothing like it.

Using WPF:

 public class Triangle : Shape
{
    private double size;

    public static readonly DependencyProperty SizeProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Size", typeof(Double), typeof(Triangle));

    public Triangle(){}

    public double Size
{
    get { return (double)this.GetValue(SizeProperty); }
    set { this.SetValue(SizeProperty, value); }
}

    protected override Geometry DefiningGeometry
    {
        get {

            Point p1 = new Point(0.0d,0.0d);
            Point p2 = new Point(this.Size, 0.0d);
            Point p3 = new Point(this.Size / 2, -this.Size);

            List segments = new List(3);
            segments.Add(new LineSegment(p1,true));
            segments.Add(new LineSegment(p2, true));
            segments.Add(new LineSegment(p3, true));

            List figures = new List(1);
            PathFigure pf = new PathFigure(p1, segments, true);
            figures.Add(pf);

            Geometry g = new PathGeometry(figures, FillRule.EvenOdd, null);

            return g;
        }
    }

}

How can i do this using WinUI 3?

As is suggested in the comments, you need to use Path.

using Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media;
using Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Shapes;
using Microsoft.UI.Xaml;
using Windows.Foundation;

namespace ShapeTest;

public class Triangle : Path
{
    public static readonly DependencyProperty SizeProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
        nameof(Size),
        typeof(double),
        typeof(Triangle),
        new PropertyMetadata(0.0));

    public Triangle()
    {
        this.Loaded += Triangle_Loaded;
    }

    public double Size
    {
        get => (double)GetValue(SizeProperty);
        set => SetValue(SizeProperty, value);
    }
    private void Triangle_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Data = new GeometryGroup()
        {
            Children = new GeometryCollection()
            {
                new LineGeometry()
                {
                    StartPoint = new Point(0, 0),
                    EndPoint = new Point(0, Size),
                },
                new LineGeometry()
                {
                    StartPoint = new Point(0, Size),
                    EndPoint = new Point(Size / 2, -Size),
                },
                new LineGeometry()
                {
                    StartPoint = new Point(Size / 2, -Size),
                    EndPoint = new Point(0, 0),
                }
            }
        };
    }
}
