More Information About Fixed Size Symbols During Configuration

Symbols created for a layout pane obtain size dimension from the pane’s size by default. The values assigned to the FixedHeight and FixedWidth properties automatically match the height and width of the pane. Symbols that are designed with its elements placed within the dimension boundaries will fit in the pane.

When the dimensions of a symbol are changed while editing in the ViewApp Editor, the following behaviors are observed:

Fixed Size Symbol Size is Greater Than Pane Size

• When the symbol size is larger than hosted pane size, elements placed outside the pane are included in the configuration view. The symbol's size is reduced to fit it entirely within the dimensions of the pane.

• When the FixedWidth and FixedHeight properties of a symbol match the pane size, but there are graphic elements beyond the symbol's fixed width and height boundaries, the symbol's size is reduced to fit the graphic elements outside the fixed size area within the dimensions of the pane.

Fixed Sized Symbol Size is Smaller Than Pane Size

When a symbol's fixed size is smaller than the hosted pane size, the symbol's size is increased to fit the pane size. The size of all of a symbol's graphic elements are increased and appear larger.

Fixed Size Symbol Embedded in Another Symbol

• The embedded fixed size symbol maintains its size configured at design time.

• There will not be any clipping of any white space provided around primitives or embedded symbols present in the symbol.

• There will not be any scaling of graphics. An exception to this is if the embedded symbol was resized at design time, the graphic will look scaled.
