Public Enum SymbolLengthType

Members

Name	Description
Auto	A symbol has a predefined length (width and height) according to the view type of the current symbols panel.
Stretch	A symbol is stretched to fill the entire symbols panel. Note that the height to width proportion will not be preserved in this case.
Fixed	A symbol length is specified in absolute values.
Proportional	A symbol is zoomed proportionally to fill the entire symbols panel.

The following properties accept/return SymbolLengthType values:

• SymbolLength.Type

Remarks

The values listed by the SymbolLengthType enumerator are used to set the SymbolLength.Type property.

Example

This example demonstrates how to specify the width and height of digital gauge symbols in fixed and proportional values.

For this, it is necessary to create an instance of the SymbolLength structure with required values and then assign it to the SymbolViewBase.Height and SymbolViewBase.Width properties.

In this example, the symbol length can be set either in fixed or proportional values depending on which of the buttons has been clicked.

View Example

MainWindow.xaml.cs

// Specify fixed values for symbol height and width.
SymbolLength newWidth = new SymbolLength(SymbolLengthType.Fixed, 44);
matrixView.Width = newWidth;
SymbolLength newHeight = new SymbolLength(SymbolLengthType.Fixed, 50);
matrixView.Height = newHeight;
// Specify proportional values for symbol height and width.
SymbolLength newWidth = new SymbolLength(SymbolLengthType.Proportional, 2);
matrixView.Width = newWidth;
SymbolLength newHeight = new SymbolLength(SymbolLengthType.Proportional, 5);
matrixView.Height = newHeight;

MainWindow.xaml.vb

' Specify fixed values for symbol height and width.
Dim newWidth As New SymbolLength(SymbolLengthType.Fixed, 44)
matrixView.Width = newWidth
Dim newHeight As New SymbolLength(SymbolLengthType.Fixed, 50)
matrixView.Height = newHeight
' Specify proportional values for symbol height and width.
Dim newWidth As New SymbolLength(SymbolLengthType.Proportional, 2)
matrixView.Width = newWidth
Dim newHeight As New SymbolLength(SymbolLengthType.Proportional, 5)
matrixView.Height = newHeight
