I created a carefully dimensioned engraving (.PNG) but when it loaded into LW it’s the wrong size.
How does LW know how big to make it? I could not find a DPI setting anywhere. Am I missing a setting?
Using LW4…
Agree, the option seems to only take BMP. Maybe we need to make that field consider jpg and png
@Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty OK let me try that.
Would be good if the code stops or warns the user from doing things that won’t work right :).
@donkjr In LW4 you can select the object & type the dimensions into the floating dimensions/position box to set it to the correct size. There must be some arbitrary figure they are using as the default DPI though, so I guess it’s all a matter of trial & error to figure out that figure. I’ll have a play around & see if I can figure it out.
edit: looks like 96dpi is the magic number.
edit 2: after playing with the DPI settings in LW4, it seems when I changed the SVG dpi setting to 300dpi, when I imported my 96dpi PNG it showed up at ~1/3rd size. So the PNG dpi settings must be based off the SVG setting…
@Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y Ok I will try both of the above
@Jorge_Robles please change it to not use the SVG setting
@Todd_Fleming , @donkjr , filed under https://github.com/LaserWeb/LaserWeb4/issues/166
And fixed.
Please for further confirmed bugs open an issue at Github. My g+ is a bit crowded and could miss something.
@Jorge_Robles ok. ? do you want me to post “how to” questions on git with the possibility that they may be a bug?
In this case I thought that perhaps I was missing a setting or control.
From what I could see on git the bitmaps setting that will be applied to .png, bmp, .jpg.?
No, thanks only confirmed bugs (like this one @Todd_Fleming commented)
