Gets the width of the outline pen that is outside the boundary of the shape.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Diagrams
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.Diagrams.11.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.Diagrams.11.0.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetExtraPenWidth ( _
    geometryHost As IGeometryHost _
) As Double
public double GetExtraPenWidth(
    IGeometryHost geometryHost
)
public:
double GetExtraPenWidth(
    IGeometryHost^ geometryHost
)
member GetExtraPenWidth : 
        geometryHost:IGeometryHost -> float
public function GetExtraPenWidth(
    geometryHost : IGeometryHost
) : double

Parameters

Return Value

Type: Double
The portion of the pen width that draws outside the borders of the geometry.

Remarks

When the outline of a shape is drawn, the pen follows a path along the boundary of the shape. The pen has a finite thickness. Therefore part of the painted boundary will be outside the actual boundary of the shape. This function returns the portion of the pen – usually half the pen width – that is outside the boundary. This information is required when computing the area that must be repainted when the shape is invalidated.
