Hi there,
I am running into problmes trying to print a "metafile" on a NeXT
laser printer. Parts of the file (ca. 500 K) are included below. It is
supposed to consist of four squares (a la some window frames) each of which
has a wire mesh graph depicting wavefunctions of coupled harmonic oscillators.
It comes from a book called Quantum Mechanics on Personal Computer. According
to the instructions in the book, the files arew set up to work with a printer
using A4 paper which is what we are using (8.5 by 11). However, all I get
is an image about the size of a *very* small postage stamp located in the
middle of a page. To be sure, it is showing what it is supposed to show,
but it's pretty nearly impossible to view without a fairly large magnifying
glass. Would anyone have any idea how I could fix this ? Any hints and
or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !
- John
P.S.
I could send/ftp the entire file to anyone who's interested - just
didn't want to clutter up the net this time :-)
