wxCoord w, h;

  double scaleX = (double)(maxX / w);
  double scaleY = (double)(maxY / h);
  dc.SetUserScale(min(scaleX, scaleY),min(scaleX, scaleY));

def get_dimensions_mm; end

#get_font ⇒ Wx::Font, Wx::FontInfo Also known as: font

Gets the current font.

Notice that even although each device context object has some default font after creation, this method would return a NULL_FONT initially and only after calling #set_font a valid font is returned.

# File 'lib/wx/doc/gen/dc.rb', line 594

def get_font; end

#get_font_metrics ⇒ Wx::FontMetrics Also known as: font_metrics

This method allows retrieving some of the font characteristics not returned by #get_text_extent, notably internal leading and average character width. Currently this method returns correct results only under WXMSW, in the other ports the internal leading will always be 0 and the average character width will be computed as the width of the character ‘x’.

Returns:



396
 
# File 'lib/wx/doc/gen/dc.rb', line 396

def get_font_metrics; end

#get_layout_direction ⇒ Wx::LayoutDirection Also known as: layout_direction

Gets the current layout direction of the device context.

On platforms where RTL layout is supported, the return value will either be LayoutDirection::Layout_LeftToRight or LayoutDirection::Layout_RightToLeft. If RTL layout is not supported, the return value will be LayoutDirection::Layout_Default.

#get_multi_line_text_extent(string, font = nil) ⇒ Array(Integer,Integer,Integer) Also known as: multi_line_text_extent

Gets the dimensions of the string using the currently selected font.

string is the text string to measure, heightLine, if non nil, is where to store the height of a single line. The text extent is set in the given w and h pointers. If the optional parameter font is specified and valid, then it is used for the text extent calculation, otherwise the currently selected font is used. If string is empty, its horizontal extent is 0 but, for convenience when using this function for allocating enough space for a possibly multi-line string, its vertical extent is the same as the height of an empty line of text. Please note that this behaviour differs from that of #get_text_extent.

Note:

This function works with both single-line and multi-line strings.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Array(Integer,Integer,Integer))

def get_size_mm; end

#get_text_extent(string, font = nil) ⇒ Array(Integer,Integer,Integer,Integer) Also known as: text_extent

Gets the dimensions of the string using the currently selected font.

string is the text string to measure, descent is the dimension from the baseline of the font to the bottom of the descender, and externalLeading is any extra vertical space added to the font by the font designer (usually is zero). The text extent is returned in w and h pointers or as a Size object depending on which version of this function is used. If the optional parameter font is specified and valid, then it is used for the text extent calculation. Otherwise the currently selected font is. If string is empty, its extent is 0 in both directions, as expected.

# File 'lib/wx/doc/gen/dc.rb', line 348

def set_logical_origin(x, y) end

#set_logical_scale(x, y) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Set the scale to use for translating DC coordinates to the physical pixels.

The effect of calling this function is similar to that of calling #set_user_scale.

Parameters:

  • x (Float)
  • y (Float)

# File 'lib/wx/doc/gen/dc.rb', line 333

def set_logical_scale(x, y) end

#set_map_mode(mode) ⇒ void Also known as: map_mode=

This method returns an undefined value.

The mapping mode of the device context defines the unit of measurement used to convert logical units to device units.

Note that in X, text drawing isn’t handled consistently with the mapping mode; a font is always specified in point size. However, setting the user scale (see #set_user_scale) scales the text appropriately. In Windows, scalable TrueType fonts are always used; in X, results depend on availability of fonts, but usually a reasonable match is found. The coordinate origin is always at the top left of the screen/printer. Drawing to a Windows printer device context uses the current mapping mode, but mapping mode is currently ignored for PostScript output.

Parameters:

# File 'lib/wx/doc/gen/dc.rb', line 318

def set_map_mode(mode) end

#set_transform_matrix(matrix) ⇒ Boolean Also known as: transform_matrix=

If transformation matrix is supported on the current system, the specified matrix will be used to transform between DC and physical coordinates. Otherwise the function returns false and doesn’t change the coordinate mapping.
