miniScale

The miniscale macro adds a mini scale box to your pattern. This box allows users to verify their pattern is printed to scale. The white inside of the box provides a metric scale, and the black outside of the box provides an imperial scale.

A miniscale is the mini version of the scalebox macro.

It is provided by plugin-annotations, which is part of core-plugins (so it is available by default).
