Protected/private setters in BinaryKits.Zpl.Label.Elements classes

[d3-ksmith]

I am using ZplAnalyzer to parse a ZPL file, then iterate over its elements like so:

var analyzer = new ZplAnalyzer(printerStorage);
var analyzeInfo = analyzer.Analyze("... my zpl ...");

foreach (var labelInfo in analyzeInfo.LabelInfos)
{
    foreach (var elm in labelInfo.ZplElements)
    {
        if (elm is ZplTextField textElm)
        {
            if (textElm.Font.FontName == "d" && (textElm.Font.FontWidth == 0 || textElm.Font.FontHeight == 0))
            {
                textElm.Font.FontWidth = 20;
                textElm.Font.FontHeight = 20;
            }
        }
    }

    var imageData = drawer.Draw(
        labelInfo.ZplElements,
        labelWidth: 101.6,
        labelHeight: 152.4,
        printDensityDpmm: 8
    );

    // ...
}

However, as-written this would not work because:

• The Font property of ZplTextField looks like this:

public ZplFont Font { get; protected set; }

• And further, the properties of ZplFont have private setters:

public int FontWidth { get; private set; }

Is there a good reason for this?

I think it would be useful to be able to modify these parameters on existing elements. I can just create new elements and replace the old ones, but that is a little more messy.
