SCALE Statement
Category Reference/Commodore BASIC V3.5 Topic SCALE <1/0> Normally, statements which draw objects onto a graphics screen use coordinates which are based on the graphic screen resolution (320 x 200 on hi-res, 160 x 200 on multicolor). This causes shapes to appear differently depending on whether hi-res or multicolor mode is selected. The SCALE statement replaces this coordinate system with a scale of 0 to 1023 in both X and Y axis, in both hi-res and multicolor mode. To convert normal coordinates to scaled coordinates, the following conversions can be used: Hi-res X axis: coordinate x 3.2 Multicolor X axis: coordinate x 6.4 Hi-res/Multicolor Y axis: coordinate x 5.12 Examples `SCALE 1` Turns scaling on `SCALE 0` Turns scaling off Abbreviation SC SHIFT+A
