Abbreviation: 'ds' Summary: set scale of Postscript 'total' drawings
The 'drawing scale' command allows the user to select the type of scaling used to draw the total NPL, LOD, and information content pictures during the 'total' command. The two options are to have the genetic map (along the x-axis) fill the page, or to set a constant numeric scale in dots per cM. The latter option may be used if you are interested in having the same scale used among different runs of GENEHUNTER for later comparison of output. There are roughly 650 dots available for drawing so a good choice for scale would be roughly 650/(length of largest chromosome). By default, the Postscript drawings will fill the page.
