Research direction

Start with the example code referenced from issue #11 and investigate how its scale setting affects the generated map. Compare the output at scale 2, which shows a grid effect, with scale 4, which appears unchanged. Done means the scale produces the expected larger map without grid artifacts.

Description

Hello,

I have just been looking at this api and tested out the example code from issue #11 which works great. The issue arrises when I change the scale. If I change it to 2 it produces this:
ab-image-x2

If I change the scale to 4 which is closer to what I am looking for it does not seem to really do anything.

Any ideas?
