Hello Regina,
Thanks again for a very helpful reply.

Hallo Peter,

There are the opposite aim. People want that drawings are anti-aliased,
when they are shown in impress

or printed

Maybe, but I found that the anti-aliasing is apparently not applied to print
output, although it is used in PDF export. The document I attached prints
perfectly via an HP InkJet.
I don't found an issue with the aim to show pictures in original on
screen. But for the purpose of screenshots, icon-pictures or technical
drawings it seems useful to me, to have such an option. To have it as
choice for the user is mentioned in issue 4748, but it is not the main
aim there. Perhaps a new issue is better.
Yes. I'll have to think carefully about this to ensure I word it correctly.
I really know no setting, to prevent OOo from anti-aliasing pictures on
screen:(
As long as you use the same dpi for your screen as the value is set in
the picture the result is satisfactory. But the screen dpi varies wide,
I've got 120 dpi for example and the icon pictures look ugly here. If I
resize it 0,55cm (=26pixel/120dpi), the appearance is OK.
Yes again. If the original is created at 72dpi your screen will look even worse
than mine :-)
If you make screenshots showing toolbars, you get better results, if you
use large icons and set OOo to 130% scaling in Tools > Options, instead
of enlarging the pictures later.
That makes a lot of sense and is excellent advice.
PS: Do you have noticed, that the display options "Fremdgrafiken
andeuten", "Umrissmodus", "Text andeuten", and "Nur Haarlinien anzeigen"
have been dropped from OOo and the chapter "View Options" can be deleted
for OOo2.4?
Sorry, my Berlitz deutsch/englisch dictionary can't cope with that and Alta
Vista's Babel Fish didn't do much better. I may have worked in München, but my
colleagues wouldn't allow my to learn much deutsch and it was a few years ago. :-)
