⚔️ World Map – War Games | MapChart

What is this?

When you color a area with a pattern (dots, stripes, etc.), the pattern by default gets scaled (resized) to fit its size. You can change this to use nonscaling patterns that look the same on all areas. Examples:

Scaling (default)

Nonscaling

What to choose?

It can depend on the map or the patterns/colors you select, but generally:

• Scaling patterns (default) are better for maps with small subdivisions, like the detailed maps or the US counties map.
• Scaling patterns (default) are better for zoomed in areas.
• Nonscaling patterns can look better for maps with larger subdivisions, like the simple World map or the US states map.
• Nonscaling patterns can look better when you have a small number of patterns in your map, as they stand out more.

In any case, you can switch this setting on/off as many times as you need to see the difference live on your map. More details on the blog.
