Comment: The pattern should print to full scale, however,
differences in browsers sometimes effects the scale. One option is
to click on the pattern and tell the browser to View the bjaypat.gif file.
Once it is the only thing showing on your browser, you can print the
drawing. In trying this with Netscape Navigator, the scale prints correctly
for the author. Should one desire to change the scale, try pulling
the GIF file into a GIF editor, either as a save as drawing or finding it
in your browser cache directory and printing. The original prints out
on an 8 - 1/2 inch X 11 inch piece of paper. Once in an editor,
it can be scaled to suit your needs. If you need software to try this
with, click on the
Smartdraw Icon below and
download a trial version of their software. All you need to do is create
a new drawing, import the GIF file and scale to suit.
Additionally, when working in an editor, scale (drag) from a corner so you
don't change the aspect ratio.
