Isis 3 Application Documentation
Compute size or scale of map
Description
This application outputs the size of a map in inches given the scale
(e.g., 1:1000000) or given the size in inches outputs the scale. Also,
the size of an output cube, number of samples and lines, will be
computed. This can be used prior to running programs such as map2map or
cam2map to ensure the output image is not too large. The mapping parameters
used to calculate the information above are also output.

Map Definition:
SCALE
Description
Map scales are a unitless representation of how many times
the body was was reduced to fit on the piece of paper (map).
Thus a 1:10000 implies that reduction was by 10000. It
also implies that 1 inch on the map = 10000 inches on the
body. Because the scale is unitless, 1 foot on the map
would be 10000 feet on the body. When entering the value for
scale only enter the portion after the colon as one is always
assumed (i.e., SCALE=10000 implies 1:10000).
Map Definition:
WIDTH
Description
This defines the maximum width of your map in inches. Note
that the results of the computation will likely reduce one
of width or height in order to preserve the aspect ratio of
the map.
Map Definition:
HEIGHT
Description
This defines the maximum height of your map in inches. Note
that the results of the computation will likely reduce one
of width or height in order to preserve the aspect ratio of
the map.
