- Hi,
-
- On the subject of printing, or more generally device resolution, I have some
- questions.
-
- 1) Will ODF based container parts print at the full resolution of the
- printer? In other words, if my part has a 300 dot/inch bitmap and is
- contained in say ODF draw, and the user prints on a 600 dpi printer, will my
- image come out at 300 dpi?
-
- 2) I know that the default mapping units for OpenDoc is 1/72 of an inch. If I
- specify a linewidth of 2 (2/72"), will it print at 2/72" wide on a 600dpi
- printer or 2/600" wide?
-
- I guess the bottom line is: if I don't do anything as far as setting mapping,
- so on the screen a value of 1.0 is 1/72", will that same value be mapped to
- the printer resolution, so that same value of 1.0 will then be 8 on a 600dpi
- device?
-
- Thanks,
- Scott Daniels
