All optical mouse users,

You can easily tinker with the Postscript of the mousepad to change the
line width/spacing.

Toward the end of the file are two setlinewidth commands. These set the
line width (wow!). The first one is X, the second Y (initially set to
.8 and .6 respectively).

Ignore the next line containing a moveto command. The next three digit
number is the number of lines to be drawn - again X then Y (initially
set to 250 and 300 respectively).

Next are the offsets between lines. Inside the curly brackets before the
rmoveto command). Again X then Y (initially set to 2.4 0 and 0 2.8
respectively).

Despite tinkering with the numbers, I can't get decent response from
a type4 or type5 mouse when the pad is printed on paper.

Have fun!


Chris.
