- The <span class="guimenuitem">Dot for Dot</span> command enables and disables
- “<span class="quote">Dot for Dot</span>” mode. If it is enabled (checked) and the
- zoom factor is 100%, every pixel in the image is displayed as one pixel
- on the screen. If it is disabled, the image is displayed at its
- “<span class="quote">real</span>” size, the size it will have when it is printed.
- </p>
- <p>
- For Dot for Dot mode to work properly, the resolution of the image
- must be the same as the screen resolution in the
- <a class="link" href="gimp-pimping.html#gimp-prefs-display" title="1.13.  Display">Preferences menu</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
- Enabling this mode is recommended if you are working on icons and web
- graphics. If you are working on images intended to be printed, you should
- disable Dot-for-Dot mode.
