No, points symbols are scaled, although not linear. In the 1:600 scale they are exactly half the size of symbols in 1:200 scale. Is there anyway to scale the point symbols, > other then typing -scale tiny |small | normal | large | huge for each > point > symbol? > If you'd like to have more control, you may use 1) base-scale command in layout (see thbook) 2) directly change the size of symbols using following code in layout (undocumented and not recommended) code metapost u:=5pt; %%% or any other value Both commands change the apperance of line symbols as well. Map symbols were not yet optimized for different scales (we mostly use 1:200 and 1:2000 / 1:5000 without symbols). Suggestions are welcome.
