In my view, the whole picture *is* the components. > > Best wishes, > Taco Hi Taco, Sorry for the typo and for not being clear. I meant the following. I know that "scaled" command can be used to scale any particular component. To scale the whole picture does one have to scale each and every component individually, or is there one command that scales every component. One way is perhaps to define a variable, say u=1cm and express all measurements in terms of "u". Then by changing just "u" one can scale the whole picture (and all the components) up or down. Is there another way? For example, in TikZ there is a command "scale" which scales the entire picture if put as an option to \begin{tikzpicture}. I was wondering if something like that is available in Metapost too. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
