Re: MI-L MB: Save Window command

[Jaromir Svasta]

Thanks, Ashley, but I am still unable to save a bitmap at the size I want.  
I changed DPI to 96 as you suggested, with no help. What units of measure  
should I use in the Save Window command when saving a map? I tried to use  
"pt" thinking that "points" are the same as "dots", but wrong again... How  
to save an image at exact size of, let's say, 600X400 pixels?

Thank you!
Jaromir

it's to do with your DPI settings.
it's been a long time since i learnt all that stuff, but basically DPI is
irrelevant for images for a display screen, all that matters is the  
number
of pixels.  i think MI tries to fudge the figgers based on old-school
thinking, but in the end leave your settings at the default 96 DPI and
change stuff based on how big you want the image.

Subject: MI-L MB: Save Window command
I saved a mapper window into BMP using Save Window command. I specified
the width and height (9.03661 X 5.90332 inch, 100 DPI). Why the  
dimensions
of the resulting bitmap are different (9.14 X 5.97 inch)? Is it a bug or
am I missing something?

The command used:
Save  Window  iWinID
  As  sImagePath
  Type  "BMP"
  Width fWidth Units "in"
  Height fHeight Units "in"
  Resolution iDPI
