GetPixelsForDistance()

 Previous page Return to chapter overview Next page

Definition

Returns the number of device pixels between the value passed to the method representing a series point value on the chart scale.

 

Method Return Value

A float representing the number of pixels between a value.

 

Syntax
<chartScale>.GetPixelsForDistance(double distance)

 

Method Parameters

distance

A double value representing the distance in points to be measured

 

Examples

ns

protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
{      
  // the number of pixels between the point value passed as a distance to the method
  float   pixelForDistance = chartScale.GetPixelsForDistance(0.25);
 
  Print("pixelForDistance: " + pixelForDistance); //20 pixels per every 1 tick on the chart scale
}

 

 

In the image below, we pass a value of 1 for the distance, which tells us there are 76 pixels for every 1 point on the ES 06-15 chart scale.
