Important note: When
you print PDF files, be sure to use the Adobe Acrobat Reader "print" function
and not your browser's print function. Also, to ensure that figures
are printed accurately, please ensure that the check box labeled "Fit
to page" in the
Adobe "Print" dialog box is unchecked. If the box is
checked, the diagram sizes may be adjusted to fit the paper size, distorting
images such as the accurately plotted DWAS meridians that should be exactly
4" apart.
