Property Value

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

Remarks

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

VB.NET

document.LoadDocument("FirstLook.docx", DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.DocumentFormat.Docx)
For Each s As Shape In document.Shapes
    ' Rotate and resize pictures.
    If s.Type = ShapeType.Picture Then
        s.ScaleX = 0.8F
        s.ScaleY = 0.8F
