IGxNumericScale.StartValue

Syntax

StartValue: Double;

Description

The StartValue property determines initial value of the numeric scale.

Comments

To use the property, the IGxNumericScale.UseAutoValues property must be set to True.

To set end value of numeric scale, use the IGxNumericScale.EndValue property.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an express report with the EXPRESS_SCALE identifier. The report contains a table based on a cube. The cube contains a non-hidden fixed dimension, which has metrics display set up.

Add links to the Dimensions, Drawing, Express, Metabase system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetaBase;
    Express: IEaxAnalyzer;
    Style: IEaxTableStyle;
    DimSel: IDimSelection;
    NumScale: IGxNumericScale;
Begin
    // Get repository
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get regular report
    Express := MB.ItemById("EXPRESS_SCALE").Edit As IEaxAnalyzer;
    // Get table formatting parameters
    Style := Express.Grid.Style;
    // Get selection of fixed dimension
    DimSel := Express.Grid.IndicatorSelection(EaxGridIndicatorType.FontSize);
    // Select second element
    DimSel.SelectElement(1, False);
    // Set scale for font sizes
    NumScale := Style.IndicatorScale(EaxGridIndicatorType.FontSize) As IGxNumericScale;
    // Use automatic values
    NumScale.UseAutoValues := True;
    // Set start font size
    NumScale.StartValue := 8;
    // Set end font size
    NumScale.EndValue := 20;
    // Get selection and change element to update table
    DimSel := Express.Grid.IndicatorSelection(EaxGridIndicatorType.FontSize);
    Dimsel.SelectElement(0, False);
    // Save changes
    (Express As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example font size of value area will be changed. The font is increased from the top left angle to the bottom right angle of value area.
