public class ImageDataProperties

Properties

Background

A valid color to replace the default (transparent) background.

Declaration
public string Background { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string
Remarks

Any padding area is also colored.

MaxSize

The maximum size of the created image, as a Size.

Declaration
public Size? MaxSize { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Size?
Remarks

The default value is (2000, 2000) for images. This is typically used when Scale is specified and helps prevent accidental excessive memory usage, which is especially needed in limited-memory environments. You cannot use Infinity when providing a maximum size for an image.

Padding

A Margin (or number) to pad the image with.

Declaration
public Margin Padding { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Margin
Remarks

If a size is specified, the padding will not increase the image size, it will only offset the Diagram contents within the image. The default value is a padding of 1.

Parts

A collection of GraphObjects, typically Parts, such as one from Selection or Parts.

Declaration
public IEnumerable<Part> Parts { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
IEnumerable<Part>
Remarks

If GraphObjects are specified their containing Part will be drawn. By default all Parts are drawn except temporary parts (see ShowTemporary).

Position

The position of the diagram, as a Point.

Declaration
public Point? Position { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Point?
Remarks

By default this is the position of DocumentBounds with the Padding removed. If a specific parts collection is used, by default this is the top-left diagram position of their collective bounds. If you set a position, you should also set a Size.

Scale

The scale of the diagram.

Declaration
public double? Scale { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
double?
Remarks

If Scale is specified and Size is not, the resulting image will be sized to uniformly fit the space needed for the given scale. Can be constrained by the MaxSize property. A scale value of NaN will automatically scale to fit within the MaxSize, but may be smaller, with a maximum computed scale of 1.

ShowGrid

A boolean value, defaulting to the value of ShowTemporary, that determines whether or not the Grid Layer (containing Grid) is included in the image regardless of the value of ShowTemporary.

Declaration
public bool? ShowGrid { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool?
Remarks

This is useful if you want to include the grid but not adornments, or vice versa.

ShowTemporary

A boolean value, defaulting to false, that determines whether or not temporary objects such as adornments are included in the image.

Declaration
public bool ShowTemporary { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool

Size

The size of the created image, as a Size, limited by the MaxSize property.

Declaration
public Size? Size { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Size?
Remarks

If no Scale or Position is specified then the diagram will be scaled to fit the given size. If you set a size, you should also set a Position. If you are scaling the diagram, you may also want to scale the size.
