SCALE

The SCALE keyword allows you to scale the horizontal and vertical coordinates before they are used for drawing. For speed reasons, scaling is done by applying a multiplication factor as a power of two:

- 0 means x1;

- 1 means x2;

- 2 means x4;

and so on. The scaling is done when drawing the point on the screen, and not when calculating the actual coordinates. This means that the images will be subject to a "scanline" effect, since the number of points drawn will remain the same. To apply a scale that respects the number of points to be drawn, it is advisable to use the RESOLUTION command.
