Description
Decreases the width and height of the rectangle by the specified amount, in units of the coordinate system of the current map.
Syntax
object.Inset ( dX, dY ) |
|
Parameters
- dx
- Required. A Double that represents the distance in the X direction to decrease the width of the rectangle.
- dy
- Required. A Double that represents the distance in the Y direction to decrease the width of the rectangle.
Remarks
The Inset method decreases the rectangle by deltaX at both the left and the right and decreases the rectangle by deltaY at both the top and the bottom.
Example
Zooms in on the map by insetting the map extent
