PdfGraphics.ScaleTransform(Single, Single) Method

Scales the coordinate system by the specified scale factor.

Namespace: DevExpress.Pdf

Assembly: DevExpress.Pdf.v21.1.Drawing.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Pdf.Drawing

Declaration

C#

public void ScaleTransform(
    float sx,
    float sy
)

VB.NET

Public Sub ScaleTransform(
    sx As Single,
    sy As Single
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
sx	Single	Scale factor in the x direction.
sy	Single	Scale factor in the y direction.

Remarks

This method multiplies the transformation matrix of the PdfGraphics object by a scaling matrix. The scaling matrix is a diagonal matrix that includes the sx and sy parameters.

Example

The code sample below scales the coordinate system and draws shapes in the initial and scaled coordinate systems.

C#

using DevExpress.Pdf;
using System.Drawing;
//...

using (PdfDocumentProcessor processor = new PdfDocumentProcessor()) {
    processor.CreateEmptyDocument();
    PdfPage page = processor.AddNewPage(PdfPaperSize.A4);
        using (PdfGraphics graphics = processor.CreateGraphics()) {
            var rectangle = new RectangleF(0, 0, 300, 300);

            // Draw a blue square.
            using (var brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Blue))
                graphics.FillRectangle(brush, rectangle);

            // Scale the coordinate system.
            graphics.ScaleTransform(0.5f, 0.5f);

            // Draw a red square in the scaled coordinate system.
            using (var brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red))
                graphics.FillRectangle(brush, rectangle);

            // Add graphics content to the document page.
            graphics.AddToPageForeground(page, 72, 72);
        }
    processor.SaveDocument("out2.pdf");
}
Process.Start("out.pdf");
