cm to pixel
I need to scale an image, such that when I print it, it will be of length x cm. Thus, I imagine I need some conversion factor (or some function) to take the number of cm's, and return the corresponding number of pixels.....
Thanks

So, the number of pixels per cm are dependent on the printer? :-(
Here's what I plan on doing:
producing a .prn file (by "Printing to File"), and then I need to print this file off on another computer (a laser printer).
Do you know if a .prn file retains the correct sizes? (So, if I were to draw a 1x1 square -inch rect on my computer with my cruddy inkjet printer, then 'printed' this to a .prn file, and then printed this .prn file on another computer [with the laser printer], will the final print-out be 1x1 inch still?)
Any idea?

I can't answer that i'm afraid, and i'd be interested if anyone could, as AFAIK prn files are proprietary. There's probably a Postscript instruction that says- 'i'd like this printed 1 inch square so scale it for me appropriately please' which could be encapsulated in the prn file, but i don't know what that would be or how it'd get there

Java
Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
