option and get a correct value. If you run on PC hardware you
|
|
will most likely not be able to use the value given by the

|
windowing system. You have to measure and set those values by
|
|
hand which can be a bit bulky. There is two fields one with the
|
|
default measure unit DPI, and one with custom measure unit which
|
|
can be useful for those who are used to the metric system.
