Respecting DPI-values in image-files for printout

MaxiPunkt — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:38:18 -0000

Many graphics-file formats like PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, PCX, etc. are able to hold DPI-information from a picture, while others don't (like GIF).

If present, it's possible to calculate the printout-size, i.e.
DPI-Resolution stored in graphics-file: 300dpi
image-width : 1.772 Pixel => 15,0cm (5,91")
image-height: 2.362 Pixel => 20,0cm (7,87")

Ksquirrel should have an option to define the printout-size in percent, respecting the eventually stored DPI-values inside an image-file.
If DPI-values are not present, Ksquirrel should assume a "standard-value".

I'll upload 2 sample TIFF's - the only difference is some bytes in the header - this is where the DPI-information is stored.
Check out what happens if you paste these files in OpenOffice!

Possibility to use system libwmf etc.

ksquirrel-libs should use system libraries whenever possible.
