viewbox

I have a Viewbox with a number of TextBlock s that are scaled and positioned perfectly by the ViewBox . Something like this: <Viewbox Stretch="Uniform"> <Canvas Width="100" Height="100"> <Ellipse Width="100" Height="100" Stroke="Black"/> <TextBlock Width="100" TextAlignment="Center" FontSize="12">Top Center</TextBlock> </Canvas> </Viewbox> If the user resizes the Viewbox its contents are perfectly scaled to match. However I would like to keep the FontSize to 12 regardless of the actual size of the Viewbox . How can I do this? Can I do this in XAML without attaching to an Resize event? Aviad P.

I have some paths drawn to the screen in wpf. The coordinates being used are quite small so they have been made to fill the screen with a view box. I am now trying to implement pan and zoom functionality. I would like to be able to zoom to wherever the mouse is in relation to the ui (i.e zoomed screen center is equal to mouse coordinates). The current outcome is that the center of the screen when zoomed is not reflective of the exact mouse position on the ui. If you want to see what is happening... Here is my current solution file . Or Heres some code: View Xaml <Grid Name="MasterGrid"

I am developing a WPF application that will be displayed in a Full-HD LCD screen (42 inch). In addition, I need to accommodate the controls in absolute positions. In the development environment I can not see a window in length 1920x1080 (this is the fixed resolution of the targeted screen). What is the best practice to accomplish this task? WPF uses Device Independent Units for specifying width/heights/positions/thicknesses, etc. 1 DIU/DIP = 1 physical pixel when your screen DPI is set to 96dpi.....but 1 DIU = a different number of physical pixels when the DPI is not 96dpi. If you use a Canvas

I want to make a Viewbox (or something similar) that scales only its height, and then stretches its content horizontally. If I do this: <Viewbox> <StackPanel> <Button>Foo</Button> <Button>Bar</Button> </StackPanel> </Viewbox> then I get this: (source: excastle.com ) It acts as if both of the buttons had HorizontalAlignment="Center", and then scales the result. But I don't want HorizontalAlignment="Center"; I want HorizontalAlignment="Stretch", like this: (source: excastle.com ) So I want it to read its contents' desired height, calculate a scaling factor based only on the height, and then

This is likely a very simple question, but how do I get text in SVG to stretch to fit its container? I don't care if it looks ugly from being stretched too long or high, but it needs to fits its container and be as big as possible. Thanks If you really don't care that the text gets ugly, here's how to fit unknown length text into a known width. <svg width="436" height="180" style="border:solid 6px" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <g> <text y="50%" textLength="436" lengthAdjust="spacingAndGlyphs">UGLY TEXT</text> </g> </svg> DiggityDug Here is what I have come up with... Its similar to what
