Minimum width for scaled objects with a length of 0, specified in tenths of a millimeter

Example

  • For a task with duration = 0, a fraction of the bar with the width specified here is to be displayed at the task start date.

Note

  • For triangle symbols, the minimum width must be exactly the same as the height of the symbol.

DI001744 Border thickness

Thickness of the line used in drawing the content, in tenths of a millimeter.

Note

DI001740 Border form

Values

  • 0: there is no margin
  • 1: continuous bar, pointed corners
  • 2: line
  • 3: triangle, pointing to the right
  • 4: triangle, pointing up
  • 5: triangle, pointing to the left
  • 6: triangle, pointing down
  • 7: circle
  • 8: continuous bar, rounded corners
  • 9: square
  • 10: tree structure: +
  • 11: tree structure: -
  • 12: diamond
  • 13: right-angled triangles below the bar
  • 14: right-angled triangles below the bar
  • 15: triangles with a base below the bar
  • 16: square rotated by 45 degrees

DI001745 Margin pattern

Specifies the pattern of the outline.

Values

  • 0: pulled through
  • 1: dashed
  • 2: dotted
  • 3: dash dot dash dot
  • 4: dash dot dot dash dot dot

Note

  • Under Windows, lines are only affected by the pattern if their width is exactly 1 pixel. Since they are specified in tenths of a millimeter, different results are obtained at different screen resolutions. I.e. if the thickness is too great, all visible patterns will be displayed as "continuous" lines.
