About graphic scaling

By default, a graphic attempts to scale to the size of its hosting pane and maintain the graphic's horizontal and vertical aspect ratio. The size of a graphic created using the Industrial Graphic Editor is determined by a bounding rectangle around all graphic elements and embedded graphics that compose the graphic.

When a graphic is placed in a layout pane, if the graphic's bounding rectangle exceeds the size of its hosting pane, the bounding rectangle becomes smaller by reducing the original size of its contents. If the graphic's bounding rectangle is smaller than the pane size, the bounding rectangle increases and enlarges the original size of its contents.

Graphics that have a defined fixed size render in runtime identically to graphics without a fixed size. A graphic's size adjusts to the size of the pane while maintaining its aspect ratio as appropriate. Most graphics that have a configured fixed size are typically placed in a specific target pane of a known size that enables them to be the rendered exactly as designed in the Industrial Graphic Editor without any required resizing during configuration or runtime.
