ScaleX Method (AForm)

Converts the value for the width of an object from one of the ScaleMode units of measure to another.

Syntax

[ fWidthOut = ] Object.ScaleX ( fWidth [,nScaleModeFrom] [,nScaleModeTo] )

The ScaleX method syntax has the following parts:

Name	Type	Description
Object	AForm	AForm object
fWidthOut	Float	The new number after conversion to the new unit of measurement.
fWidth	Val Variant	Specifies the number to be converted from one unit of measure to the other.
nScaleModeFrom	Val enumAFormScaleMode	An integer specifying the unit of measurement from which the fWidth of the object is to be converted. The possible values of nScaleModeFrom are the same as for the ScaleMode property.
nScaleModeTo	Val enumAFormScaleMode	An integer specifying the unit of measurement to which the fWidth of the object is to be converted. The possible values of nScaleModeTo are the same as for the ScaleMode property.

Where

enumAFormScaleMode can be one of the following:

Name	Value	Description
aformScaleModeUser	0	User
aformScaleModeTwips	1	Twips
aformScaleModePoints	2	Points
aformScaleModePixels	3	Pixels
aformScaleModeCharacters	4	Characters
aformScaleModeInches	5	Inches
aformScaleModeMillimeters	6	Millimeters
aformScaleModeCentimeters	7	Centimeters
aformScaleModeHimetric	8	Himetric

Comments

The ScaleX and ScaleY methods take a value (width or height), with its unit of measure specified by nScaleModeFrom, and convert it to the corresponding value for the unit of measure specified by nScaleModeTo.

You can also use ScaleX and ScaleY with the PaintPicture method.

This method does not support named arguments.

Example

The following statement converts the X-coordinate scale on the AForm object from 10 centimeters to 10 inches:

ffrm1ScaleX1=frm1.ScaleX(10,aformScaleModeCentimeters,aformScaleModeInches)
