GraphicsUnit conversion
-
Hi guys, I'm building a simple application similar to MS Paint and I want to be able to save any drawning, for wich I use Bitmap.Save(...). I also want to be able to let user specify the size and units of rendered outcome (px, mm, inch...) To be able to create a bitmap in different size units than pixel, I need to convert the units into the pixel first, then create the bitmap of specified size (in px) , then create graphics from my bitmap and render the screen into the graphics and save the bitmap. so my question is, if youse choose 20x20 mm , how can I convert this into px. Is there any framework class that exposes this functionality so I can use it? I'm sure they have to do it as well . thank you
