PixelsPerInch not respected
Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 6:56 am
Hello.
How come if I set the
chart1.title.font.pixelsPerInch:=500
there is no difference in the font size on the chart as compared to leaving the pixelsPerInch alone. However, if in the formPaint for a form I do
canvas.font.pixelsperinch:=500;
canvas.font.size:=8;
canvas.font.color:=clblack;
canvas.textout(5,5,'hello');
Then the font size on the form is much bigger than if I left the canvas.font.pixelsPerInch.
It seems that tchart is ignoring the pixelsPerInch. Is there a way to have it use the pixelsPerInch.
The actual height in pixels of a font is supposed to be something like:
size in pixels=size in points * pixelsPerInch/72 so that I can use pixelsPerInch to adjust the size of a font.
