The grid available for charting is very generous indeed and you might feel swamped or lost if you are only making a small chart. So how do you cut your working grid down to size?
The answer is very simple. You can't.
If your problem is that you have trouble locating your small chart in the vast expanse of grid - then work up in the top of the grid space - or use that nifty tool, the locator window which we explored in an earlier post, to help you zoom into your work area quickly.
If you are concerned that you will have reams of paper printed out that will be blank, please don't be concerned, the software will only print your active area. However, because I know it easy to drop a stitch accidentally way off chart which will generate a bigger print area, I usually define the print area by using the lasso tool. This also allows you to have more control over the size border you print around your chart.
Luned will tell us the Latin for Make a Virtue of Necessity or we shall send her back around the hockey pitch......or maybe she will send us back around the hockey pitch - I know the answer is there somewhere.

Oo-er! That threat of hockey pitches just revived a thirty five year-old nightmare! I vaguely remember something like Necesse est matris reperio being necessity is the mother of invention and I seem to remember a lot of giggling about 'rectum' meaning virtue... Would a note asking for extra Infinity study get me out of this one?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the above tip about the lasso tool - I was wondering how to get single motif charts.
Yes, I did a lot of giggling in Latin too...just think where I might be now if only I had paid more attention....
