The Alignment has set to left , so the panel has been leaned towards left.
this.digitalDisplay1.Alignment = NextUI.Display.DigitalDisplay.location.LEFT;
this.digitalDisplay1.BackGrdColor = System.Drawing.Color.Maroon;
this.digitalDisplay1.BackGroundImage = global::DigitalDisplayDemo.Properties.Resources.digital2;
this.digitalDisplay1.EnableGlare = false;
this.digitalDisplay1.FontColor = System.Drawing.Color.Ivory;
this.digitalDisplay1.Number = 0F;
this.digitalDisplay1.PanelColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkRed;
this.digitalDisplay1.PanelNumber = 7;
Example 2:
The Code snippet below is extracted from the sample code , the alignment has set to center .
It also set EnableGlare to true . As you can see , there is a glare effect on the panel.
this.digitalDisplay2.Alignment = NextUI.Display.DigitalDisplay.location.CENTER;
this.digitalDisplay2.BackGrdColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkRed;
this.digitalDisplay2.BackGroundImage = global::DigitalDisplayDemo.Properties.Resources.digital1;

this.digitalDisplay2.FontColor = System.Drawing.Color.Azure;
this.digitalDisplay2.Number = 0F;
this.digitalDisplay2.PanelColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
this.digitalDisplay2.PanelNumber = 6;
Example 3:
The Code snippet below is extracted from the sample code , the alignment has set to Fill .
The Panelnumber has set to 6 , so you can only see 6 panels on the control
this.digitalDisplay3.Alignment = NextUI.Display.DigitalDisplay.location.FILL;
this.digitalDisplay3.BackGrdColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
this.digitalDisplay3.BackGroundImage = null;
