MCS Scale-o-matic

You can use the forms below two create simple 300° scales. Two different
types can be made, as shown on the samples.

A third type with more customizable features can also be made.

The standard file format is EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) that can be printed
(on a PS printer), imported into drawing apps like CorelDRAW!, Illustrator,
Freehand etc or opened in Photoshop.

Other formats can also be selected for the second and third type of scale.

This third version probably needs a short "manual". Since PostScript is a strange backwards language, angles, posistions etc. are of course backwards also. So the end angle is where you want the scale to stop (25 on the sample scale). The scale will then be drawn backwards (CCW) from there. In PostScript 0° and 360° is at the right side (at 15 on the sample), and the scale then goes backwards from there (90° at 0). So to get the scale shown the end angle is 300° and the total angle is also 300°.

The ending number is the number at the end of the scale (25). The increment is the change per. step, which is -5 in this case.
