When  drawing  with idraw on the Mac, objects are typi-
cally scaled up	wrt other dsplays.  For	example, the scaling
factor	to  convert  an	idraw image drawn on the Mac down to
the size that displays properly	on the old  IPC	 Sparc,	 the
conversion  factor  is 0.868.  The specific means to do	this
from within idraw are as follows: (a) load the	image  drawn
on  the	Mac into idraw displaying on the IPC; (b) select the
entire drawing;	(c) group it; (d) run 'Precise	Scale'	with
arguments .868,	.868.

     To	convert	the other direction, use the inverse scaling
of 1/.868 which	= 1.1520.

     On	the regular HPs, the conversion	factor from the	 Mac
is  .758, inverse of which - 1.3193.  On the X-term HPs, the
factor is .8012	(1.2481).

     Here's a summary conversion table:


* It turns out that the	new Ultra is exactly the same res as
the HP Xterms.


Misc  Oddities:	 The  idraw figures in rsl/alpha/doc/browser
were presumably	originally drawn on thyme.  However,  on  at
least  one  of the figures (initial-browser-config.idr), the
above .8735 HP conversion didn't work.	Instead, the conver-
sion  to  HP conversion	was .947.  Go figure.  Anyway, there

may be some other old figures like this	 laying	 around	 who
knows  where.  There are some other places, e.g., the formal
specification primer figures,  where  a	 scaling  factor  of
1.085  was  necessary to restore normal	size fonts.  I'm not
at all sure where the down scaling came	from.
