and
-y-mag[nification] magnification-ratio
-x-magnification and -y-magnification options to specify distinct horizontal and vertical magnifications. These options specify the ratio of pixels per workspace unit at which the new G2 window displays workspaces. For either option, specify a decimal value in the range 0.50 to 2.66.
If you do not specify the
-x-magnification or -y-magnification options, nor the -magnification option, the new G2 uses a -magnification setting of 1.0; this is equivalent to a -x-magnification setting of 1.0 and a -y-magnification setting of 1.0. By specifying different combinations of
-x-magnification and -y-magnification settings, you can display workspaces in the G2 process's window at an effectively equivalent absolute size on different display devices. For more information about using the
-magnification, -x-magnification, and -y-magnification options, see Specifying the Resolution and Magnification.
Special Considerations
Alternatively, you can use the -magnification option to specify the same setting for both the horizontal and vertical axes. -magnification argument with either the -x-magnification or -y-magnification options. Example
This command starts a G2 process whose window displays full-scale workspaces with a horizontal magnification of two pixels per G2 workspace unit and with a vertical magnification of one and a half pixels per G2 workspace unit:
