Patrick,

We would like to offer a correction to the comments below. The front is 
scalable via the Dashboard, Displays Tab, "Front Display". Click on that option 
and you will notice a table with Highs/Lows/Fronts. Double clicking on a 
"Front" row will reveal a properties panel where you can scale the front. 
Unfortunately, highs/lows are not scalable in this fashion.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
