Any ideas on enlarging a chart?

Scan the chart into a jpeg file. Then use "Gimp" or something similar to enlarge the picture. Then, print the picture.

First, go to a printer like OfficeMax and have an enlargement made of your chart. I had an 8 x 11 chart blown up to 30 x 36 inches. It really helped in giving me a more detailed view. Next step: Say you had 50 columns to begin with, then you need to add a column between column 1 and column 2 and so on. The same method applies if you want the enlargement to be vertical or horizontal.
