Scaling a Graphic: IG command

 

The IG command can be used to enlarge or reduce an image. If, for example, you wanted to enlarge the graphic to 200% of its original size, you could do so as follows:

 

1Move the cursor to the position in your document the graphic will appear.
2Press F9 to access the action line.
3Type ig filename.bmp,sc=200x200 where filename.bmp is the name of the graphic file to be imported.
4Press F10 to import the graphic.

 

NB:

Different percentages may be specified for horizontal and vertical scaling. Doing so will change the shape of the graphic.
Scaling is applied after cropping.
If you decide to scale the graphic after including it in your file, you would need to switch to Show Codes View (press Shift+F8) and add the SC command inside the IG command.
