and when to use the "maintain aspect ratio"
So, on the aspect ratio, when one sets the H or W,
which one of them becomes the dominant variable when
the maintain aspect ratio box is checked? The H or
the W?
I cant see why one would set both. THe point is if you want you figure to
be say 10cm wide, want to maintain the shape, and arent worried about
height then you set the width and click 'maintain aspect ratio'
If you are however converned with height and not width do the opposite.
And finally if you want to specify a height/width ratio different from the
original figure then enter values for both height and width and leave the
'maintain aspect ratio' box blank.
In order to set the width or height to be calculated in proportion to the
aspect ratio set the value to 0 sp.
e.g. I have a 5cm wide 2cm high figure
1) I want it to be 11cm wide on the page. Set width 11cm height 0sp and
clivk maitina aspct
2) I want it to be 4cm hgih. Set width 0sp height 200% and selct maintain
aspect
3) I wanr it to be 11cm wide and 4cm high. Set width 11cm height 4cm and
uncheck maintain aspect.
I hope this is clear
