Can I change the value in PrintqbleArea size?

Hi all,

I want to print out MyMap, but it can only print out about 3/4 MyMap. I think the problem is that PrintableArea.Height >MyMap.ActualHeight
PrintableArea.Width >MyMap.ActualWidth

So can I change the values of PrintableArea.Height and PrintableArea.Width? I don't think I can change....then do you have some suggestions on solving this problem? Thank you very much!

You can't change the printable area size. This one is depending on the printer, the paper size and the orientation.

So you have to adapt the map size to the printable area size.

In this thread, you will find ideas on how to print the current map.
Another option is to clone the current map in order to keep live the current map and to display a print preview at the same time : sample.

What if the PrintableArea size is smaller than the actual map size? That's what confuses me...right now I can only print part of the map since the PrintableArea is smaller than the map size...
Dose SL have the other methods to configure this? Or maybe I can change the orientation of the print page from portrait to landscape? Can I change the orientation in the codes? Thank you 🙂
