Hi, I have to know how long is (in inch.) a frame (or a window or an ImageCanvas...) so I try to use Toolkit.getScreenResolution() but it return 96 dpi even if I change the screen resolution... How can I do? Thanks for the help!!

Not sure what your goal is, but the following is an interesting read:

  • How can I get the DPI of the current workstation?

    Hi can anyone help me?
    I want to know the dpi witch is set on a Windows system.
    How can i get it? Because i will reformat and fit the dpi of displaying images to the dpi of a current window system, e.g image= 200x200dpi and monitor=84dpi so the dpi of the images should be set to 84.
    But How can i get the current dpi of the Workstation?
    please help,
    florian

    yes but it sucks because windows-workstations
    manipulates the dpi to a standard value of 96 dpi...
    its equal if there is a 15" or a 17" monitor ...
    thanks floI agree, getScreenResolution() just doesn't work. Try changing your screen resolution setting (say from 1024x768 to 800x600) and this method will continue to return the same value!
    Can one adjust the scale so that you can draw a 1 inch square, for instance? The default affine transform property of the graphics object passed to paint methods is supposed to have 72 units = 1 inch, but that's not true. Again, adjust your screen settings and the same 72x72 square will come out in very different sizes.
    Is there any way to correct this, short of going to native code to get the screen resolution? I know that the screen display may be a bit miscallibrated, but anything would be better that the way it is now!

  • How can I find out the dpi of an image in Acrobat.

    How can I find out the dpi of an image in Acrobat. I have tried the pre-flight option but I really don't understand the pixels width x depth information that I get. I basically just want to know at dpi of a single image. Is there other program that will read my pdf file and tell me this information.

    Thank you, tylerdurdain! That was ridiculously difficult to find. Not sure what version of Acrobat you're using in your image, but for those using Acrobat Pro 11 (in Mavericks), it's buried under View > Tools > Print Production.
    That opens a panel on the right.
    To keep from having to chase it down this way each time, right click on "Output Preview" and choose "Add to Quick Tools Toolbar". That adds a button to the top right of the toolbar.
    Now you can call up the inspector with one click. Choose Object Inspector as tylerdurdain shows above, then click on the item displayed to get its properties.

  • How do i find out the DPI of a photo ?

    i want to enter a photo in a 'contest'  ... the rule is that the photo has to be at least 300 DPI ....
    how do i determine what DPI my photo is ?
    i have iPhoto 9.2.3
    thank you
    Donna

    how do i find out the DPI of my photo ?
    A digital image has no dpi, unless you print it. What is the pixel size of your photo? Select your photo in iPhoto and open the Info pane.
    It will show you the width and height of your photo in pixel below the name of the camera; in the example above  the image is 3000 pixels wide. Printed at 300 dpi it will be 10 inches wide.  You need to know, how large the calendar is supposed to be printed, to see, if your photo has enough pixels.
    How many pixels - width and height - does your photo have?

  • How do you change the dpi of a pdf?

    I'm really confused as to how to change my dpi to 300. I'm not even really sure how I can check what it is?
    Thanks!

    The question is very vague, perhaps a little wrong of way to ask on how to do this way. But, there are different PDF settings, depending on specific output you want it to be outputted as PDF file.
    Frank is correct about imbedded graphic (or photo files) with specific DPI setting, then import it into PDF file.
    However, you didn't say which PDF generator you are outputting it to from? Plus, you didn't say what kind of PDF output you want it to be set up? So I don't know what to say unless I know the specific information you are looking for. Because PDF topic is a very broad topic. As PDF technology evolves, so is its option varies.
    Cheers, Brian

  • Can I Increase the DPI of the Macbook Air ?

    windows xp has a function that allows you to increase the dpi of the display without changing the resolution (from 96 dpi to say 120dpi)
    any resolution on the air (or any other mac) other than the defined one generally creates a screen that loses sharpness and doesn't look right
    yet the 1400x900 on the air 13 creates text and icons that sre so small
    is there a solution similar to what i can do on a windows xp machines (like i had 13" dell which i was able to easily up the dpi and make the screen much more readable)

    +1 I would like to know is this is possible also

  • Changing the DPI setting on photos

    Hello,
    How do I save or change the DPI setting from 150 to 300 on my photos.
    I am a very new apple user. Finding myself asking silly questions.
    Appreciate any help.
    Thank you.

    Hi Deels & H,
    this is a very complicated subject that I even have a problem getting a grasp of. Hopefully this site will help you understand.
    http://www.alpenglowimaging.com/resolution.htm
    I don't know if what you are asking is really anything that can be done.
    If you read the article you will see that dpi is used for scanners and printers. Digital cameras have megapixel resolutions and depending on the camera they can take photos from 150 to 300 resolution and I am not even sure if it is dpi or another wording. As you can see, I don't really grasp the whole ides, so I have to keep reading the site to understand.
    It's a great site so check out the FAQ and other Articles on the site to help you.

  • In iPhoto, where do you find the dpi of your pictures?

    I am trying to send some photos to a company that requires a specific dpi to make prints.
    how do i find the dpi of my photos so i can size them appropriately?

    i do not understand.
    I selected an image in iPhoto.
    I looked to the top right menu bar and did not see an italic i in a square.
    From left to right, there ia an Adobe symbol, clock, 3 dots between brackets symbol, the volume symbol, then a symbol that looks like a B covered by 3 dots (it says bluetooth when i click in it), then the wifi symbol, day, time, my name, search symbol.
    I didnt understand any of the math you mention.
    Could you be a little more specific?
    I am trying to send images to a print company to have reproductions made but when i sent the first image, they wrote me back and said there are certain sizes they can reproduce based on the dpi of my image and what i had sent so far was not adequate. so i want to see the dpi's of my images so i know what to do about it.
    Thanks!

  • How do you change the dpi on photos?

    I am writing a book and inserting old photos into it.   These photos were scanned by people and sent by e-mail.   I need to change the dpi on the photos to 300 dpi for printing purposes.   I have just bought Lightroom, so I don't know a lot yet.   But, my first project is changing the dpi of these photos and inserting them into my book.   Thank you.

    Actually, you don't need to change the resolution (which is PPI, not DPI), and anyway, you can't do this unnecessary thing in Lightroom. You do need to have enough pixels in the image to print at the desired size. So, for example, if the book calls for a 4x6 space to be filled with your photo, then you would need a photo that is 1200x1800 pixels (or larger). If your book requires the photos outside of Lightroom, then you would Export the photo (if necessary, enlarged) to the desired number of pixels, as in the example.
    I have just bought Lightroom, so I don't know a lot yet.   But, my first project is changing the dpi of these photos and inserting them into my book.
    So based on the fact that this is an unnecessary task, and that Lightroom won't do this anyway, your first project is now completed.

    Did you check the Zoom setting?
    Have you tried a reset (reboot)? Hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears.
    If it isn't Zoom and a reboot doesn't help try Settings/General/Reset - Reset all settings

  • I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation.  I have a dell computer at home that has clip art available on it for putting pictures into documents.  Do I need to install an APP to get something similar to clip art?

    I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation.  I have a desktop computer at home that has clip art loaded onto it.  I recently got an iPad and am looking for something similar.  I assume I need to get an APP for it, and if that is correct, does anyone have one that they like?

    Sort of.  There is an app called art shop that gives you a place to park clip art.   But I don't think you really need it. 
    If you have a collection of clip art you want available, move it to the camera roll on your pad/ phone, then copy paste into your document the clip you want.
    You can get them into the camaera roll by putting them in a single event in your picture library and syncing them over,  or e mail them to your self, and save to the camera roll, or send them to drop box, and bring them down that way.
    The challenge is getting them all in one place to make it easy for you to find, which is why syncing might be the best approach in the long run.
    As near as I can tell there is not a ready made clip art collection in app format laying around.
