If the specified HTML viewer height is 0 the HTML viewer height will be automatically determined based on the HTML content and the HTML viewer width in order to make visible the whole HTML content. The HTML viewer width is given by the HtmlViewerWidth property. If the HTML content is not entirely visible in the HTML viewer at the specified width, the ClipHtmlView property will control whether the HTML content is clipped or the HTML viewer width is automatically extended to make visible the whole HTML content. The HTML viewer height can also be specified in the HtmlToImageConverter class contructor. The default value is 0 to automatically determine the HTML viewer height based on the HTML content and the HTML viewer width.
HtmlViewerWidth Gets or sets the preferred HTML viewer width in pixels in the HTML to Image converter. If the HTML content is not entirely visible in the HTML viewer at the specified width, the ClipHtmlView property will control whether the HTML content is clipped or the HTML viewer width is automatically extended to make visible the whole HTML content.
