Hope this helps you!
To draw lines in code you shoud do something like this:
Line line = new Line();
Thickness thickness = new Thickness(101,-11,362,250);
line.Margin = thickness;
line.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
line.StrokeThickness = 4;
line.Stroke = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.Black;
line.X1 = 10;
line.X2 = 40;
line.Y1 = 70;
line.Y2 = 70;
and don't forget to add:
myCanvas.Children.Add(line);
to put those line in some place

To resize your canvas please read this:
Canvas is the only panel element that has no inherent layout
characteristics. A Canvas has default Height and Width properties of
zero, unless it is the child of an element that automatically sizes
its child elements. Child elements of a Canvas are never resized, they
are just positioned at their designated coordinates. This provides
flexibility for situations in which inherent sizing constraints or
alignment are not needed or wanted. For cases in which you want child
content to be automatically resized and aligned, it is usually best to
use a Grid element.
So as a solution you would make it inside a GRID or using the following code:
public class CanvasAutoSize : Canvas
{
protected override System.Windows.Size MeasureOverride(System.Windows.Size constraint)
{
base.MeasureOverride(constraint);
double width = base
.InternalChildren
.OfType<UIElement>()
.Max(i => i.DesiredSize.Width + (double)i.GetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty));
double height = base
.InternalChildren
.OfType<UIElement>()
.Max(i => i.DesiredSize.Height + (double)i.GetValue(Canvas.TopProperty));
return new Size(width, height);
}
}
at your XAML:
<local:CanvasAutoSize VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left"></local:CanvasAutoSize>
