Save as image behaves crazy
Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2017 1:17 pm
Hi,
When saving an opened DPlot file as image (gif, tiff) I never get an image file of the correct dimensions.
The output seems always to be larger.
When importing an image I prepare it for correct size, with full plot output dimensions in mind. All this is mentally boggling if DPlot can't manage to output an image I tell to be e.g. 1080x1590 pixels (which I know is about A4 size at 150dpi), eventually to become a 150dpi document but dpi settings doesn't seem to affect output dimensions as well.
Anyway, I don't care about the 150dpi: I just need the exported image to have the entered size in pixels. Post-processing in image editor or printer settings will deal with the print size (150dpi info is only useful info for 'true size' but usually the printer software upscales the image dimensions according the set print resolution).
By the way, when exporting a too large image (e.g. 2000x3000pixels) DPlot just keeps being busy and never ends the task.
Can anyone explain the logics of the Save As - image dialog in DPlot or is it not working properly?
