Re: [JAVA2D] To extract DPI from an image

[Marijn H. van der Ploeg]

Hi,   The short answer is: You can't! DPI is only applicable to printed material and printers. The Image on screen knows nothing about how it is going to be printed, all it know is: at screen-coordinates(x, y) draw a pixel with color(color).

But all the methods in BufferedImage, Raster etc. return the height / width in pixels. Request if anybody knows the method to extract dimensions in mm or inch, so that DPI of the image can be calculated. Thanks in advance.
