Unit Line Length

Defines the minimum length of lines on the horizontal and vertical axis using unit-aware values.

Remarks

Unit Line Length allows you to specify the minimum length for horizontal and vertical lines using unit-aware string values. This is useful in scenarios where line lengths must be defined in physical or logical units, or as a percentage or pixel value.

Each property ('Horizontal' and 'Vertical') can be configured independently, or you can use shorthand notation to set both dimensions to the same value. You may enter values directly as a comma-separated string, or expand the property in the UI to edit each value separately.

Usage

• To set both horizontal and vertical lengths to the same value: 0.25in
• To set horizontal and vertical lengths independently: 0.50in, 0.25in

Supported Unit Types

The following unit types are supported when specifying values for Unit Line Length:

• px: Pixels
• in: Inches
• pt: Points (1/72 of an inch)
• cm: Centimeters
• mm: Millimeters
• %: Percent (context-dependent, typically relative to a parent or container)

Note: The twip (twentieths of a point) and em (typographic em) units are not supported in Unit Line Length. Attempting to use these units will result in a validation error.

Examples

• 0.25in: Sets both horizontal and vertical minimum lengths to 0.25 inches.
• 0.50in, 0.25in: Sets horizontal to 0.50 inches and vertical to 0.25 inches.
• 10px, 20px: Sets horizontal to 10 pixels and vertical to 20 pixels.
• 50%, 75%: Sets horizontal to 50% and vertical to 75% of the reference dimension.

When configuring a Unit Line Length, ensure that the units are appropriate for the context in which the line length will be used.

Properties

Name	Type		Description
Horizontal	String	►	The minimum length of a horizontal line, specified as a unit-aware string. ConverterUnit Value Converter Default0.2in Sets the minimum length for horizontal lines. Enter a value with a supported unit (such as 0.25in, 10px, 5pt, 12mm, or 50%). If both horizontal and vertical are set to the same value, you may enter a single value for both. Supported units:px, in, pt, cm, mm, %
Vertical	String	►	The minimum length of a vertical line, specified as a unit-aware string. ConverterUnit Value Converter Default0.2in Sets the minimum length for vertical lines. Enter a value with a supported unit (such as 0.25in, 10px, 5pt, 12mm, or 50%). If both horizontal and vertical are set to the same value, you may enter a single value for both. Supported units:px, in, pt, cm, mm, %
