Remarks

A PileFlowPanel contains PileFlowItem objects ("flow items"). A PileFlowItem is responsible for animating its element and can contain any FrameworkElement-derived class.

The PileFlowCard class is used for displaying content with an optional mirror-like reflection in the PileFlowPanel beneath the content; this class is used in XAML to add elements of to PileFlowPanel.

The PileFlowPanel class also contains a label that can be configured to display the PileFlowItem data via the property ContentLabel.
