    In This Topic

    The Distribution property gets or sets a value between 0.1 and 1.0 that controls how much zooming should be applied to elements near the center of the panel. The smaller the value, the more distant items away from the center of the panel will appear. By default Distribution is set to "0.5".

    If Distribution is set to "1", all elements will appear at the same zoom level, for example in the following image:

     

    If Distribution is set to a smaller number, such as "0.2", elements away from the center will appear further zoomed out:

    You can set the Distribution property using one of the following methods:

    To set the Distribution so that items away from the center appear more zoomed out in XAML add Distribution="0.2" to the <c1:C1HyperPanel> tag so that it appears similar to the following:

    XAML
    Copy Code 
    <c1:C1HyperPanel Name="C1HyperPanel1" Distribution="0.2">

    To set the Distribution so that items away from the center appear more zoomed out in code, add the following code to your project:

    To write the code in Visual Basic:

      

    Visual Basic
    Copy Code 
    Me.C1HyperPanel1.Distribution = "0.2"

    To write the code in C#:

      

    C#
    Copy Code 
    this.c1HyperPanel1.Distribution = "0.2";

    To set the Distribution so that items away from the center appear more zoomed out at design time, complete the following:

    1. Click once on the C1HyperPanel to select it.
    2. Navigate to the Properties window and locate the Distribution property.
    3. Click in the text box next to the Distribution property and enter "0.2".
