SetScale

Defines the coordinate system for a Form, PictureBox, or Printer. Named arguments are not supported.

Syntax

object.SetScale x1, y1, x2, y2

The parts of the SetScale method syntax are described in the following table.

Part Description
x1 Optional. An object expression that evaluates to an object. If object is omitted, the Form object with the focus is assumed to be object.
y1 Optional. Single-precision values indicating the horizontal (x-axis) and vertical (y-axis) coordinates that define the upper-left corner of object. Parentheses must enclose the values. If omitted, the second set of coordinates must also be omitted.
x2 Optional. Single-precision values indicating the horizontal and vertical coordinates that define the lower-right corner of object. . If omitted, the first set of coordinates must also be omitted.
y2 Optional.

The SetScale method enables you to reset the coordinate system to any scale you choose. SetScale affects the coordinate system for both run-time graphics statements and the placement of controls.

If you use SetScale with no arguments (both sets of coordinates omitted), it resets the coordinate system to twips.
