Namespace: MindFusion.Reporting.Silverlight
Assembly: MindFusion.Reporting.Silverlight

 Syntax

C#

public GraphicsUnit MeasureUnit { get; set; }

Visual Basic

Public Property MeasureUnit As GraphicsUnit

 Property Value

An instance of the GraphicsUnit class.

 Remarks

This property specifies the default unit of measure in the report. If the location or size of a report item do not have explicit unit of measure, this value will be used.

 Example

Consider for example the following report, declared in XAML:

XAML

<r:Report MeasureUnit="Millimeter">
  <r:Page>
    <r:Label Text="I use the report's unit of measure for my size."
      Location="0,0" Size="100,20" Background="PaleGoldenrod" />
    <r:Label Text="I use 1/72-th of an inch as units of measure for my size."
      Location="0,30" Size="100pt,20pt" Background="PaleVioletRed" />
  </r:Page>
</r:Report>

The size of the first label does not explicitly specify units of measure therefore it will use the report's units of measure - millimeters and the labels size will be 100x20 millimeters. The second label explicitly specifies points as units of measure for its size, therefore its size will be 100x20 points.
