Homework help - enlarging then printing
« on: Sep 14th, 2003, 6:22pm » |

I've done some drawings in Processing for an assignment I had in a design class, but a requirement asks that the assignment be 10 x 10 and printed. Figuring that it would be an easy task to increase the size when finished I ignored this requirement till now and now I've found myself stuck. Does anyone know a nice way to increase the size of my drawings using OS X? I should also mention, free software solutions are always the best
Thanks

what units are the 10x10? what kind of pixel dimentions do you need? do just require that the image be scaled up proportionally, or do you want to scale the resolution of the actual sketch in p5? if you just need an image (or set of images) resized, i'd be happy to push the button in photoshop for you...

I didn't even notice I forgot the unit. Ha. That should be 10 inches by 10 inches.
I don't want to go the print screen and change size in Photoshop route because of pixilation. Or are you writing about a different method to increase the size in Photoshop?

How big are your processing drawings? Have you hard-coded measurements, or done them as a proportion of width/height?
e.g. The former would be:
size(200,200);
point(50,100);
point(100,100);
point(150,100);
The latter would be:
size(200,200);
point(width/4,height/2);
point(width/2,height/2);
point(3*width/4,height/2);
(these are just examples, not ideal coding style)
If your measurements are as a proportion of width and height, then simply resize your processing canvas to the required number of pixels... for a 10x10in drawing at 300dpi this will be 3000x3000 pixels though!
Tell us more about your setup, we can probably help!

mm, but things like points and strokes will not scale, while areas will. fortunately/unfortunately this is part of the separation of media types...
