I hope someone can help me understand printing resolution.
If I use LiveCode to generate a PDF that will be printed at 300 dpi, how do I achieve the best output? For vectors, I assume that it makes no difference at what scale I compose the picture. (Is that true?) But suppose I want to print a bit map 1 inch wide. I would tell LiveCode to "print into rect 0,72,0,72" (for example) to indicate that it should be 1 inch square. Will this work better if the original bit map is 300 pixels wide (to match the intended 300 dpi resolution)? Or if it's a multiple of 72, like 288, pixels wide? Further suppose that I want some 9 point text on my 1 inch square. For the case where I'm printing 288 pixels of width into a rectangle that is 72 wide, it seems clear I can compose with 36 point text. But if I'm printing 300 pixels into that 72 wide rectangle, will 36 be slightly too small? Should I use 37 point text? Is composing at 300 pixels better for the bit map quality but 288 pixels better for getting the right the text size? Thanks for any guidance.
