    factor As SizeF _
)

public override void Scale(
    SizeF factor

        factor:SizeF -> unit  
override Scale : 
        factor:SizeF -> unit

public override function Scale(
    factor : SizeF
)

Parameters

  • factor
    Type: SizeF

    A SizeF that contains the horizontal and vertical scaling factors.

Remarks

The Scale method scales the shape by the specified scaling factor. This makes it larger or smaller by a percentage of its current size.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Scale method to scale an OvalShape control. This example requires that you have an OvalShape control named OvalShape1 on a form.

Private Sub OvalShape1_Click() Handles OvalShape1.Click
    Dim state As Boolean 
    If state = False Then
        OvalShape1.Scale(New SizeF(2, 3))
        state = True 
    Else
        OvalShape1.Scale(New SizeF(0.5, 0.333))
        state = False 
    End If 
End Sub

private void ovalShape1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    bool state = true;
    if (state == false)
    {
        ovalShape1.Scale(new SizeF(2, 3));
        state = true;
    }
    else
    {
        ovalShape1.Scale(new SizeF((float)0.5, ((float)0.333)));
        state = false;
    }
}
