CGpGraphics.GetDpiXmethod

Gets the horizontal resolution, in dots per inch, of the display device associated with this **Graphics** object.

Syntax

FUNCTION GetDpiX () AS SINGLE

Return value

This method returns the horizontal resolution, in dots per inch, of the display device associated with this Graphics object.

Description

Gets the horizontal resolution, in dots per inch, of the display device associated with this Graphics object.

Example

' ======================================================================================== ' The following example gets the horizontal resolution, in dots per inch, of the display ' device and uses that value to convert pixels to inches. Then the code draws two rectangles ' that have the same width: one measured in inches and one measured in pixels. ' ======================================================================================== SUB Example_GetDpiX (BYVAL hdc AS HDC)

' // Create a graphics object from the window device context DIM graphics AS CGpGraphics = hdc

' // Get the vertical resolution, in dots per inch, of the display device DIM dpiX AS SINGLE = graphics.GetDpiX

' // Set the unit of measure for graphics to inches graphics.SetPageUnit(UnitInch) graphics.SetPageScale(dpiX / 96)

' // Use dpiX to convert pixels to inches, and draw a DIM side AS SINGLE = 100.0 / dpiX DIM bluePen AS CGpPen = CGpPen(ARGB_BLUE, 0) graphics.DrawRectangle(@bluePen, 0.0, 0.0, side, side)

' // Set the unit of measure for graphics to pixels graphics.SetPageUnit(UnitPixel) graphics.SetPageScale(dpiX / 96)

' // Draw a 100-pixel square. DIM redPen AS CGpPen = CGpPen(ARGB_RED, 1) graphics.DrawRectangle(@redPen, 120, 0, 100, 100)

END SUB ' ========================================================================================
