XAML Values
- length
The width or height of the Figure in pixels, described as a Double value. Alternatively, this value can be qualified with a unit declaration string (px, in, cm, pt) see qualifiedDouble below.
- qualifiedDouble
A double value as described above followed by one of the following unit declaration strings: px, in, cm, pt.
px (default) is device-independent units (1/96th inch per unit)
in is inches; 1in==96px
cm is centimeters; 1cm==(96/2.54) px
pt is points; 1pt==(96/72) px

Examples
In the following example, when the user clicks on the Figure, the Width of the Figure decreases. Below is the XAML for the sample.
<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
x:Class="SDKSample.FigureLengthExample" >
<FlowDocumentReader>
<FlowDocument >
<Paragraph>
Raw text inside the paragraph
<Figure Name="myFigure" Width="300">
<Paragraph FontStyle="Italic" MouseDown="OnMouseDownDecreaseWidth" >
Text inside of paragraph that is inside Figure...
</Paragraph>
</Figure>
</Paragraph>
</FlowDocument>
</FlowDocumentReader>
</Page>
Below is the code used to decrease the Width of the Figure.
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Input;
namespace SDKSample
{
public partial class FigureLengthExample : Page
{
void OnMouseDownDecreaseWidth(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs args)
{
FigureLength myFigureLength = myFigure.Width;
double widthValue = myFigureLength.Value;
if (widthValue > 0)
{
myFigure.Width = new FigureLength((widthValue - 10), FigureUnitType.Pixel);
}
}
}
}
