Resolution (of bitmaps): you can set a resolution (dots per inch or dpi) independently of the physical size of the bitmap. The main use of this is for printed output. A PC monitor has a resolution of 96dpi, which means there are 96 dots (or pixels) to one linear inch. This is adequate for on-screen work. However 96dpi is too coarse for printing, which requires 150dpi or higher.

Notes:

Some programs, especially web browsers, ignore resolution information and assume the bitmap is 96dpi. The result is that a 150dpi bitmap is displayed at 156% (150/96). This is beyond the control of Xara LX.

dpi/pixels per inch is different to LX's 'pix' measurement unit which is 1/96th of an inch.
