- [HorizontalScale](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/horizontalscale.md): Horizontal stretch to be applied to output. Useful for calibrating printers
- [IsScaleToFit](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/isscaletofit.md): Returns true if the model has been scaled to fit.

- [MatchLinetypePatternDefinition](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/matchlinetypepatterndefinition.md): Default is true. Linetype scales are normally generated right before printing/view capture in order to get linetypes to print to the same lengths as defined. If false, the linetypes are not scaled and the current pattern lengths as seen on the screen as used.
- [MediaSize](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/mediasize.md): Total size of the image or page in dots
- [ModelScaleType](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/modelscaletype.md)

- [OutputColor](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/outputcolor.md)
- [PointSizeMillimeters](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/pointsizemillimeters.md): Size of point objects in millimeters. if scale <= 0 the size is minimized so points are always drawn as small as possible
- [RasterMode](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/rastermode.md)
- [Resolution](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/resolution.md): Capture "density" in dots per inch.
- [TextDotPointSize](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/textdotpointsize.md): Font point size use for printing text dots. The default value is 10.0. This has morphed into a scale setting as individual text dots have their own sizes. A value of 20 will print dots at double of their size setting while a value of 10 will print with no scaling applied.
- [UsePrintWidths](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/useprintwidths.md)
- [VerticalScale](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/verticalscale.md): Vertical stretch to be applied to output. Useful for calibrating printers
- [ViewArea](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/viewarea.md): How the RhinoViewport is mapped to the output rectangle
- [WireThicknessScale](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.display.viewcapturesettings/wirethicknessscale.md): Scaling factor to apply to object print widths (typically 1.0). This is helpful when printing something at 1/2 scale and having all of the curves print 1/2 as thick.
