Partial rendering (or one-dimensional clipping) of arbitrary path in Silverlight

Partial rendering (or one-dimensional clipping) of arbitrary path in Silverlight

I have an interesting challenge that no one here seems to have encountered or addressed, but which I need for a current project. How does one render an arbitrary segment of an arbitrary path? This required segment could be expressed in terms of fractional (say 40% to 70%) or absolute (say 20px to 30px) end-points along the path. One can think of this problem as one of partial rendering, or alternatively, as one of clipping (one-dimensional clipping as opposed to area clipping).

By arbitrary path, I mean set of segments of the usual types: line, arc, bezier.

Interestingly If this problem is solved, it offers more simple ways of animating the drawing of path that those currently offered.
