Scaling

Signature

{scaling(type):[scale]}

Description

Scales the next characters in the current and next lines.

Arguments

Type

The are a total of 8 types (0 -> 7) which control how the scale argument is processed.

If its higher than 0, e.g. 1 (common), the provided scale value will be directly used. If its 0 (very rare), the scale value will be used as a reference to a list that holds the real value.

This argument is optional and will equal the value 1 if non-existent.

Scale

The scale of the characters.

This value is divided by 24 after being passed as an argument.

If the type is higher than 0, the number range is -128 -> 127. If its 0, the number range is 0 -> 127.

Notes

If this text tag is not used, the default scale of characters is 24.

If this text is used in a text file with the format hdat, it will only apply to the current line.

Since this tag is in every way inferior to the Scale tag, I would recommend using the latter instead.

Although it's possible to use a negative number as the scale, doing so results in a crash.
