Subject: Re: Adding scale marks to panels

From: "djbrow54" <davebr@...>

I created a 1U and 2U template with HPGL graphics. I had to do the
inner and outer tic marks separately to have different line widths.

I tried this application and it took a few attempts to duplicate the
tic marks. It generates two objects within a single HPGL file so you
can have different line widths. The cost came out the same. I was
hoping that a single HPGL object might be cheaper, but I think the
program treats it as two.

This application will do vertical (inline) tic marks. Might be useful
if I ever do slider controls.
