scaleIndependently

Type

property

Summary

Specifies whether an EPS object's vertical and horizontal dimensions are sized independently or proportionally.

Syntax

set the scaleIndependently of <EPSObject> to {true | false}

Description

Use the scaleIndependently property to control the screen appearance of an EPS object.

If the scaleIndependently is true, the PostScript image is scaled vertically to fit the full height of the EPS object and horizontally to fit the full width, even if this causes the image to be distorted.

If the scaleIndependently is false, the PostScript image is scaled proportionally to fit at least one dimension, even if the other dimension does not completely fill the EPS object's rectangle.

This property is supported only on Unix systems with Display PostScript installed.

Examples

set the scaleIndependently of EPS 2 to false

Value
