Large graphics

[JeffBob]

I was going to use Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 to make a banner that will be 4 ft. tall and 20 ft. long. It seems that the largest measurement can only 9 ft. Is there any way to get around this limitation?

Most banners are made to a scale. This is certainly fine and when using all vector it is infinitely scalable. If also using bitmap images on the banner, just make sure they are placed using sufficient DPI so they scale well.

Take care, Mike

I take it then that I can design it small but at a higher dpi. Thank you.

Yes--keep the DPI on bitmaps large enough to scale. But vector elements are DIP-independent. So no worries on vector elements.

Take care, Mike
