# TXDrawingControl.IsCanvasVisible Property

> Gets a value whether the TX Drawing Control is interpreted as canvas or not. The control is not interpreted as canvas if it contains only one shape, the shape's CanFitToCanvas property is set to false, its AutoSize property is set to true and the control's BorderWidth property is 0. If the property's value is false the control can be thought of as a representation of the containing shape where bounds changes of the control lead to considering changes of the shape and vise versa.
