| Let's take a simple Vertical Linear Gauge and look how scaling affects its visual appearance. Let it be our "Basic" gauge. Its width is 150 and height - 500. | The view is Ok. | |
| We have resized our gauge now saved proportions between width and height. The width is now 120 and height is 400. We have reduced every attribute at 1/5 of its total value, so everything is fine. Note although that major changes in sizes will affect font size and font won't be stretched. | The view is Ok. | |
| Now we have changed only width of our gauge from 150 to 450. As you can see the result isn't fascinating and the gauge has lost its original view. We should have changed height to 1500 to avoid this. | Probably bad - the gauge doesn't look authentic now. | |
| Although in this case we have considerably changed gauge's width and height and also we used "Verdana.swf" font to avoid font stretching. Don't forget to place "Verdana.swf" into folder with your example. | Ok - the font now looks smooth. |
