Hi Remi,
I'm working on DPM and DPI now.
Here is what I plan on doing:
You set the page size in either inches or centimeters. You define the
resolution in terms of DPI or DPM. You control the magnification. For example,
if I have a 1 inch page size, and a lego part that appears a half an inch wide,
with a magnification of 1.0, the part should take up half the page. With a 2x
magnification, the part should take up the whole page.
Changing DPM/DPI does not change the relative sizes of things with respect to
the page size, it just makes sure everything has more or less pixels.
Now I just have to figure out how to compute everything down to pixels and
we're good to go.
Kevin
