XAML Values
double Double
String representation of a Double value. This is interpreted as a device-independent unit (1/96th inch) measurement. Strings need not explicitly include decimal points. For instance, a value of 1 is acceptable. The same Double range restrictions as mentioned in the Property Value section apply.
qualifiedDouble
A double value as described above, followed by one of the following unit declaration strings: px, in, cm, pt.
px (default) is device-independent units (1/96th inch per unit)
in is inches; 1in==96px
cm is centimeters; 1cm==(96/2.54) px
pt is points; 1pt==(96/72) px
Note
In many cases a double may be set to Auto, but a ContextMenu does not appear if the offsets are set to Auto.
