long GetMeasurementUnit();

void SetMeasurementUnit(long nNewValue);

 

[C#]

public abstract new eDocEngineX.TxgtUnitType MeasurementUnit [  get,  set ]

 

[VB]

Property MeasurementUnit As TxgtUnitType

 

 

 

 

Default Value

 

 

muInches

 

 

 

 

Remarks

 

 

This property specifies the current unit of measurement used in the engine. By default, all measurements are taken in inches. Once this property is set to a particular unit (say, muPixels), all the values provided to the engine will be interpreted in that unit (Pixels). Following are the permitted values for TxgtUnitType:

Example Code

 

 

[VC++]

m_Engine.SetFileName("Sample");

m_Engine.BeginDoc();

 

// Set measurement unit to pixels.

m_Engine.SetMeasurementUnit(muPixels);

m_Engine.TextOutXY(100, 100, "Measured in Pixels");

 

// Set measurement unit to inches.

m_Engine.SetMeasurementUnit(muInches);

m_Engine.TextOutXY(1, 3, "Measured in Inches");

 

m_Engine.EndDoc();                        

 

 

 

[VB]
