Specifying the Plotting Scale

By default, the output plot data represents the plotted drawing(s) on the same scale as the input plot file.

• To change the plotting scale during the data processing operation, use either of the command line options:

  • SCALE=factor

  • SCALE:factor

  Here, factor is the required scaling factor (output scale)/(input scale).

  For example, SCALE=0.5 will produce half-size output plots.

  Notes: This option is only valid on the command line, and is not combined in the same string as the other options available with soft drivers.
  
  The option has no effect when drivers are scaling a plot to fill an area. Drivers that do this are: Laserjet, PostScript, Screen and Xdump.
