[Therion] Scaling of maps

[Andrew Atkinson]

I think this might solve your problem?

page 50 thbook

• scale <picture length> <real length> ◃ set scale of output map or map
atlas (M,
A; default: 1 200)

• base-scale <picture length> <real length> ◃ if set, Therion will
optically scale
the map by a (scale/base-scale) factor. This has the same effect as if
the map
printed in base-scale would be photo-reduced to the scale. (M, A)
