Re: Adding scale marks to panels

2007-11-14 by djbrow54

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.
