xtd::forms::style_sheets::length Class Reference

Definition

The xtd::forms::style_sheets::length specifies the legth and unit of many properties of the xtd::forms::style_sheets::ibox_model.

class forms_export_ length : public xtd::iequatable<length>, public xtd::object
Inheritance
xtd::objectxtd::forms::style_sheets::length
Implements
xtd::iequatable <>
Header
#include <xtd/forms/style_sheets/lenght>
Namespace
xtd::forms::style_sheets
Library
xtd.forms
Remarks
CSS has several different units for expressing a length.
Many CSS properties take "length" values, such as width, margin, padding, font-size, etc.
Length is a number followed by a length unit, such as 10px, 2em, etc.CSS has several different units for expressing a length.
Example
Set different length values, using px (pixels):
border-width: 3px;
}
border-width: 1px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
Note
A whitespace cannot appear between the number and the unit. However, if the value is 0, the unit can be omitted.
Remarks
For some CSS properties, negative lengths are allowed.
There are two types of length units: absolute and relative.
Absolute lengths
The absolute length units are fixed and a length expressed in any of these will appear as exactly that size.
Enum class value Css potfix Description
centimeters cm centimeters
millimeters  mm  millimeters
inches in inches (1in = 96px = 2.54cm)
pixels px pixels (1px = 1/96th of 1in)
points pt points (1pt = 1/72 of 1in)
picas pc picas (1pc = 12 pt)
Relative lengths
Relative length units specify a length relative to another length property. Relative length units scales better between different rendering mediums.
Enum class value Css potfix Description
element em Relative to the font-size of the element (2em means 2 times the size of the current font)
element_x_height ex Relative to the x-height of the current font (rarely used)
chase ch Relative to width of the "0" (zero)
root_element rem Relative to font-size of the root element
viewport_width vw Relative to 1% of the width of the viewport(*)
viewport_height vh Relative to 1% of the height of the viewport(*)
viewport_min vmin Relative to 1% of viewport's* smaller dimension
viewport_max vmax Relative to 1% of viewport's* larger dimension
percent % Relative to the parent element
The element(em) and root_element(rem) units are practical in creating perfectly scalable layout! (*) Viewport = the bounds of the element. If the viewport is 50cm wide, 1vw = 0.5cm.
