Defines the coordinate system for a Form, PictureBox, or Printer. Doesn't support named arguments.
Syntax
object.Scale (x1, y1) - (x2, y2)
The Scale method syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | Optional. An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. If object is omitted, the Form object with the focus is assumed to be object. |
| x1, 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, y2 | Optional. Single-precision values indicating the horizontal and vertical coordinates that define the lower-right corner of object. Parentheses must enclose the values. If omitted, the first set of coordinates must also be omitted. |
Remarks
The Scale method enables you to reset the coordinate system to any scale you choose. Scale affects the coordinate system for both run-time graphics statements and the placement of controls.
If you use Scale with no arguments (both sets of coordinates omitted), it resets the coordinate system to twips.
