  • DrawingObject.ScaleX Property

    Gets or sets the horizontal scale factor for a shape.

    Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

    Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v25.1.Core.dll

    NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

    Declaration

    float ScaleX { get; set; }

    Property Value

    Type Description
    Single

    The scale factor to apply to a shape. Default is 1 (the shape is not scaled).

    Remarks

    Use the ScaleX property to scale a shape horizontally relative to its original size (OriginalSize). Values between 0 and 1 decrease the shape width, and values greater than 1 increase the width.

    If you assign a negative number to the ScaleX property, its absolute value is used.

        if (s.Type == ShapeType.Picture)
        {
            s.ScaleX = 0.8f;
            s.ScaleY = 0.8f;
            s.RotationAngle = 45;
        }
