title: scale
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The `scale` setting is an overall scaling factor that will influence a variety of
|
|
factors to better support very small patterns.
|
|
|
|
To be clear, `scale` does not change the size of the pattern itself.
|
|
It merely controls things like the various stroke width, the size of arrows
|
|
on dimensions, the size of the text on the pattern, and so on.
|
|
|
|
## Signature
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const settings = {
|
|
Number scale=1
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import { Aaron } from "@freesewing/aaron"
|
|
|
|
const pattern = new Aaron({
|
|
scale: 0.5
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
This was a feature requested by those users who are generating patterns
|
|
for dolls. At such small sizes, many snippets, text, or logos become
|
|
so large (in comparison to the pattern) that they are problematic.
|
|
|
|
For most elements, `scale` simply changes the size of the element
|
|
linearly by the value of `scale`.
|
|
For example, the size of the _logo_ at a `scale` of 0.5 is exactly half the
|
|
size of the _logo_ at a `scale` of 1.0.
|
|
|
|
For elements that depend on specific lengths or starting/ending points
|
|
(for example, dimensions, _cutonfold_, and _grainline_),
|
|
the element lengths are not changed.
|
|
However, other aspects of the elements, like text size and line weight,
|
|
do get scaled.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, for _bartacks_ the lengths of the bartacks do not change,
|
|
but the bartack widths and line weights are scaled.
|
|
|
|
For the _scalebox_ and _miniscale_, as `scale` decreases these scale boxes
|
|
are replaced with other scale boxes with smaller dimensions.
|
|
The text in the smaller scale boxes is also replaced so that each scale box
|
|
always reports its correct dimensions.
|
|
For example, the default size scale box text might say,
|
|
"The inside of this box should measure 10 cm x 5 cm".
|
|
But, when `scale` is reduced,
|
|
the text in the smaller scale box might instead say,
|
|
"The inside of this box should measure 6 cm x 3 cm."
