The
Viewbox is a decorator control which scales its child. It can be used to scale its child to fit the available space.The
Viewbox gives its child infinite space in the measure phase. It will constrain either or both sides when arranging it. This depends on the value of the Stretch.To restrict scaling direction one can use
StretchDirection which can prevent up or down scaling.XAML
