Region:SetIgnoreParentScale()

Links
FrameXML

Regions, abstract rectangular areas on the screen to position user interface elements, will scale relative to their parent (if any) unless overriden by SetIgnoreParentScale() such that the region IsIgnoringParentScale()

region:SetIgnoreParentScale(shouldIgnore)
isIgnoring = region:IsIgnoringParentScale()

Arguments

shouldIgnore: Boolean - True to ignore parent scale, or false to resume following it

Returns

isIgnoring: Boolean - True if ignoring parent scale, or false otherwise

Examples

local parent = CreateFrame("Frame")
local child = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, parent)
child:SetScale(0.5)
print(child:GetEffectiveScale())                 -- 0.5
parent:SetScale(0.5)
print(child:GetEffectiveScale())                 -- 0.25
child:SetIgnoreParentScale(true)
print(child:GetEffectiveScale())                 -- 0.5

Details

These methods may be used regardless if the region actually has a parent from which to inherit effective scale
Once ignoring parent scale, Region:GetEffectiveScale will return the same value set using Region:SetScale

Patch changes

Patch 8.0.1 (2018-07-17): Moved to Region:SetIgnoreParentScale() and Region:IsIgnoringParentScale()^[1]
Previously Frame:SetIgnoreParentScale() and Frame:IsIgnoringParentScale()
