I got fed up with trying to print tiled plans from gifs or jpegs and I couldn't find anything that would do it for free, so I wrote a little tiling program.

I call the program Tile Print and it is free for personal use.

You load a picture, zoom to a portion where you know a dimension, draw a line with the mouse and enter the size. For example if you know the distance between ribs is 3", then draw a line between 2 ribs and enter 3 inches into the scale box. If you want it to be 200%, enter 6 inches. If you want it to be 50%, enter 1.5 inches etc. Then just click the print button and Tile Print will scale, tile and print the picture.

Tile print supports the follwing formats: Bitmaps (*.bmp;*.dib), GIF Images (*.gif), JPEG Images (*.jpg;*.jpeg), Metafiles (*.wmf;*.emf) and Icons(*.ico;*.cur).

Please keep in mind that I wrote this in a few hours, so don't be surprised if you run into a few bugs.

You can download it from at http://donatelli.net/downloads/tileprint.zip

My printer has a print preview function, so I can show you what a split up plan might look like.
