SET_SCALE Function

Syntax

Arguments

scalar

The number of inches that the unit 1 represents. The default is 1 inch.

Description

Set scale for units (default unit 1.0 = 1 inch).

Discussion

The SET_SCALE() function redefines the metric used in setting coordinates. The default is 1 = 1 inch.

The following example draws a triangle at the default metric, then redefines the metric to be .5, and draws another triangle.

ui_bitmap_create("test", 4, 2)
ui_bitmap_draw("test",<<%code%
inner_Rect(0, 0, 4, 2)
set_brush("green")
set_pen("black")
start_poly(2, .5)
lineto(3, 1)
lineto(1, 1.5)
fill_poly(2, .5)
set_scale(.5)
start_poly(2, .5)
lineto(3, 1)
lineto(1, 1.5)
fill_poly(2, .5)
%code%)
ui_dlg_box("","{image=test}")

Limitations

Used only in the Code sections of UI_BITMAP_DRAW(), UI_SCREEN_DRAW(), and UI_PRINTER_DRAW().
