Title: Margins
Post by: iffy525 on November 16, 2008, 01:45:01 am
Could someone explain to me what the content, caption, sizing and none margins are? Like what are there differences and what do they do? Basically a sort of mini-guide to margins. It would be a good thing to add to the wiki too.
Thanks
Thanks

MARGINS are a quadtuple of left, top, right, bottom. They define an inner portion of a rectangle;
the left-margin says how many pixels counted from the left border you go into the rectangle, the right-margin says how many pixels counted from the right border you go into the rectangle, etc:

Illustrates pretty ok what margins are.
Sizing margins define how an image is stretched using nine-grid-drawing. For indepth info, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb189722.aspx (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb189722.aspx) .
Content margins define where the content is placed inside a control, regardless of stretching it (since we define how many pixels to go from a border using margins).
caption margins are the same as content margins, but for title/captionbars.
none-margins is a VSB thing to display the exact borders of an image by using (0,0,0,0) as a margin structure.
the left-margin says how many pixels counted from the left border you go into the rectangle, the right-margin says how many pixels counted from the right border you go into the rectangle, etc:
