// ExStart:1
XpsPath path = doc.AddPath(doc.CreatePathGeometry("M 30,20 l 258.24,0 0,56.64 -258.24,0 Z"));
path.RenderTransform = doc.CreateMatrix(0.7f, 0f, 0f, 0.7f, 0f, 20f);
path.Fill = doc.CreateImageBrush(dataDir + "QL_logo_color.tif", new RectangleF(0f, 0f, 258.24f, 56.64f), new RectangleF(50f, 20f, 193.68f, 42.48f));
// ExEnd:1

Step 4: Save Resultant XPS Document
