Delphi Seattle: Enable High-DPI results than expected

Post by TestAlways » Thu Feb 18, 2016 12:52 am

In working with Seattle, if "Enable High-DPI" (in Project/Options/Application) is checked, Annotations' text will appear small

Image

(it is a little hard to see here unless you compare the annotation font against the axis label font--it is smaller, but should be the same size, or see that the annotations above take up less width than the annotations below).

But if I change it so that it is unchecked, it appears normal size:

Image

I much prefer the first image (much cleaner), but the Annotation text is too small.

Is there a way to get the annotation text to not change its size based on DPI?

Hello Ed,

Can you please arrange a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here?
Thanks in advance.

(Thanks for your patience on posting this in the wrong group).

I have attached a demo. Click in the chart to add color bands and annotations.

To see the difference, I compiled with the DPI settings checked and unchecked and renamed the EXE. I then ran the program on my Dell XPS 13. (I could not see it on my development computer).

I'm not sure I understand what that means. Could you clarify?
