There are three forms of scaling: anisotropic, isotropic, and point-factor. The Type parameter tells the printer which form you are using. Refer to the following table.

Table 19-18

Scaling Form

Type

Description

 

 

 

Anisotropic

0

Establishes standard user-unit

 

 

scaling allowing different unit size

 

 

on X-axis and Y-axis.

 

 

 

Isotropic

1

Establishes standard user-unit

 

 

scaling with same unit size on X-axis

 

 

and Y-axis.

 

 

 

Point Factor

2

Establishes P1 user-unit location

 

 

and a specific ratio of plotter units

 

 

to user-units.

 

 

 

zNo Parameters — Turns off scaling; subsequent coordinates are in plotter units.

For Scaling Types 0 and 1:

The following forms of scaling establish a user-unit coordinate system by mapping user-defined coordinate values onto the scaling points P1 and P2. The type parameter selects between anisotropic (Type 0) and isotropic scaling (Type 1).
