Scalable Vector Graphics :: Scaling SVG

This page contains a frame with some simple Scalable Vector graphics elements.

For a user's screen these elements are not over-wide. However, they are wider than an A4 page and will therefore need to be scaled to fit when printed. Since IE 9 the minimum scale factor that IE will use when scaling a document to fit is 60%.

For A4 paper, the graphics on this page require a lower limit than this. With standard IE this page will not scale to fit to A4 paper automatically. To achieve a correct print out the user will be required to preview the print and then choose a scale that does fit.

With licensed ScriptX there are two solutions to this problem using the SetPrintSale function that enable the developer to deliver a solution to the user that 'just works':

  • Specify a scale factor that is known to scale the document sufficiently to fit the paper that it is known will be used. not ideal
  • Specify a low limit for the mimimum scale to fit scale. This requires ScriptX 8 or later. ideal
%

Note that the default minimum scale to fit scale factor is 60%.
