DrawLine

[Bragadiru]

Hi all,

When I'm drwing a line in Visio 2003 with C# :
Visio.Shape newLine = visioDocument.Pages[1].DrawLine(1.1,1.1, 2.2, 2.2);

x or y coordinates are in pixels / m / mm / cm / inches / ... ???
How can I find the current page - unit of measurement ?

Thanks for any advice

The Drawline method always takes its input in Visio internal units which are
always inches. If you are working in different units you'll need to do the
conversion when setting up the parameters to Drawline.

Thanks Fred.

Now, how can I find the current units used ? I didn't find any property or
method of Page/Application object.

Well, I looked into this and couldn't find any way to get the page's
measurement units directly from the object model. Here is a work around and
if someone thinks they have a better way, feel free to offer it up.

You can get the page units indirectly by drawing a shape onto the page. Use
one of the draw routines, such as DrawRectangle, so that the cells don't
inherit from a master. Then check the Units property of the PageWidth or
PageHeight cells. The units should be the same as the page units.

Good luck!

Thanks Fred.

The page units are found in the PageScale cell. Check the Units property of
this value.
