In GLMakie on a 4k screen everything in my plot seems too small. I tried `Figure(px_per_unit=16, pt_per_unit=16)` but that didn’t do anything afaict.

This page has some info on scaling: [GLMakie | Makie](https://docs.makie.org/stable/explanations/backends/glmakie)

You can try running

`GLMakie.activate!(scalefactor=x)`

where `x` is some number
