<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Folks.. when I have been stuck for a graticule I
use either MS Excel or Powerpoint to create quadrangle sheets with
the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>denser marks wherever needed, experiment with
cell size (be sure to option "gridlines on"), dummy in some data on
the top LH and bottom RH cell outside the area I want, and then print it on
colored transparency stock. You can get this from office supply stores in many
colors.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>In Powerpoint play with line thicknesses using the tools in
the shapes/ lines toolkit. MS Viseo and Project Manager can also be used if you
want to get fancy with arrow heads and other objects. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Then use a compass or divider to scribe the
diameter you need to fit inside the CRT bezel and cut it out. If you need a
stiffer graticule than a single sheet of transparency will creat, use another
sheet of clear material as a "doubler" and a couple of drops of crazy
glue on the edges to hold them together.</FONT></DIV>

technique and it looks fine.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>The sheets come in material suitable for laser
printers and ink jet printers. The laser stock will not work in an ink jet m/c,
the ink globs up and doesn't make fine lines.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
