I agree with Mark's philosophy. When we use a full screen capture, we size it
margin to margin. If we use a cropped portion of the screen, we display it at
1:1 size. This way, the viewer is not confused and the size of the font (and
other interface elements) remains the same from figure to figure. The only
time we "enlarge" a figure is to point out something unusual or specific that
may otherwise be missed. Again, context is the important factor.
