object |
An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
|
Double |
The percentage to scale the shape vertically. |
Remarks
In the Configuration environment, VerticalScalePercentage will not be set back to 100 until the object is de-selected. Therefore, while selected, the object will contain it's current percentage value relative to the size of the object when it was last selected. Once de-selected, the object's VerticalScalePercentage property will be reset back to 100.
In the Run-time environment, animating the VerticalScalePercentage property modifies the object's height based on the size of the object when it initially came off disk.
An object's scale percentage can be negative. This causes the object to flip over its bottom axis. This effect is useful for creating differential bar graphs by using an expression in the data source that takes the value and subtracts a setpoint. The resulting difference from the setpoint can be used to by the VerticalScalePercentage property. For example, you could animate a color table to change color based on the sign of a result.
