I was thinking more about this (and I've asked Miguel to help me with the
resolution independent architecture of the new LPub features), and there are
two *different* issues here.
Issue 1:
I want to render everything in low resolution (to save time) until I get things
they way I want, then I want to increase the resolution for the final draft,
and have everything scale accordingly. The final draft is destined for the
web, so when I raise the resolution, I don't want the borders and callout
seperators and such to increase in size.
Issue 2:
I want to render everything in low resolution (to save time), but when I
increase the resolution for printing, I want the borders ans callout seperators
to increase in thickness, so they look right when they are printed.
How do we address the conflict between these two wants?
This whole *resolution indepence* is a very good idea, and especially now in
the beginning of the *LPub for page layout* era, before things get too
entrenched. But.... it is a new concept for me to deal with.
Kevin
