NtDisplayDef.preferredRowHeight Member

The preferred row height is the vertical space that suits best for a certain method of showing data. For example if you want to indicate the occurance of certain events symbolically by icons and these icons are all of size 32x32 you might prefer a row height of 38 pixels for a good view.

The actual height of a row is being defined by the NtPerspective which holds one NtRowPerspective per row. This NtRowPerspective has a member rowHeight which you set during creation of the NtRowPerspective.
Now it might happen that you want to show different types of data within one row. In this case you have to decide what the appropriate row height is. In most cases this will be the maximum of all preferredRowHeights in that row.

Below please see an example which actually is of poor style: Bitmaps are being combined with icons in one row what leads to a reduced clearity of the information:

Important: If you want to change the height of a row any time during use of the NtTimeChartControl you never do this via this member preferredRowHeight. Instead you call GetNtPerspective() on your NtTimeChartControl. Within the recieved NtPerspective you change the rowHeight member of the appropriate NtRowPerspective and set the changed Perspective again to your Time Chart by calling SetNtPerspective().

Type:

int

Remarks:

This value should be set upon initinalization and not be changed any more.
