Public Property LineHeight As Double

Property Value

Double

The height of each line in device independent pixels with a value range of 0.0034 to 160000. A value of NaN (equivalent to an attribute value of "Auto") causes the line height to be determined automatically from the current font characteristics. The default is NaN.

Attributes: TypeConverterAttribute

Examples

The following example shows how to set the LineHeight attribute of a Block element.

<FlowDocument>
  <Paragraph 
    TextAlignment="Left" 
    Background="AliceBlue"
    FontSize="24"
    LineHeight="48"
  >
    One<LineBreak/>
    two two<LineBreak/>
    Three Three Three<LineBreak/>
    four four four four<LineBreak/>
    Five Five Five Five Five
  </Paragraph>
</FlowDocument>

The following figure shows how the previous example renders.

Screenshot: FlowDocument LineHeight

The following figure shows how the same example renders with the default setting of LineHeight=Double.NaN.

The following example shows how to set the LineHeight property programmatically.

Paragraph par = new Paragraph();
par.LineHeight = 48;

Dim par As New Paragraph()
par.LineHeight = 48

Remarks

Changing the LineHeight value does not change the height of the associated text; rather, it changes the height of the line that contains the text.

In addition to this property, the layout of lines in a ListItem is affected by its LineStackingStrategy property.

XAML Attribute Usage

<object LineHeight="double"/>  
- or -  
<object LineHeight="qualifiedDouble"/>  
- or -  
<object LineHeight="Auto"/>

XAML Values

double
String representation of a Double value in the range 0.0034 to 160000. An unqualified value is measured in device independent pixels. Strings need not explicitly include decimal points.

qualifiedDouble
A double value as described above, (excepting Auto) followed by one of the following unit specifiers: px, in, cm, pt.

px (default) is device-independent units (1/96th inch per unit)

in is inches; 1in==96px

cm is centimeters; 1cm==(96/2.54) px

pt is points; 1pt==(96/72) px

Auto
Causes the line height to be determined automatically from the current font characteristics. Equivalent to a property value of Double.NaN.
