MapControl.ZoomToFit(IEnumerable<MapItem>, Double) Method

Zooms the map to fit the area that contains items sent as a parameter.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraMap

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraMap.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void ZoomToFit(
    IEnumerable<MapItem> items,
    double paddingFactor
)

VB.NET

Public Sub ZoomToFit(
    items As IEnumerable(Of MapItem),
    paddingFactor As Double
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
items	IEnumerable<MapItem>	A IEnumerable object that contains MapItem descendant objects that should be visible on a map after it is zoomed.
paddingFactor	Double	A Double object, which tunes the border size around visible map items.

Remarks

When vector items are loaded at runtime, the ZoomToFit method should be called from LayerBase.DataLoaded event handler.

The ZoomToFit method works as follows:

• Calculates a bounding box around items.

  

• Zooms the map to fit the box. Note that the padding factor is applied to the larger dimension of the box.

  The following image shows an instance of a horizontal dimension that is larger than the vertical (“PF” means “Padding Factor” on images).

  

  When the vertical dimension is larger than the horizontal, the zoom appears as follows:

  

  Note that the padding factor is divided by two for each side of the region.

Example

The following image shows a map with paddingFactor equal to 0.3:

C#

map.ZoomToFit(mapItemStorage.Items, 0.3);

VB.NET

map.ZoomToFit(mapItemStorage.Items, 0.3)
