I recently was revisiting the sample and realized that there is a lot going on in the sample that may not at first be apparent. As such, I decided to isolate just the firework effects part of the sample and put some more UI around it so that people could tweak the settings and see what is possible visually.

Using the animation features of WPF opens up the possibility of representing information in a more visceral, intuitive way. One data visualization that most Windows users have experienced at one time or another is a graphical representation of their CPU utilization using Task Manager. As a way to demonstrate data visualization, I decided to implement this data visualization using WPF.
