There appears to be some confusion in the statement 300 pixels wide and 200
dpi
Any image 300 pixels wide is just that, 300 pixels in any format.
DPI (dots per inch) is a function of the print program:
- If you set the print at 300 dpi, you end up on paper with an image 1 inch wide
- If you set
The original DPI of an image is based on the resolution of the imaging
device. Lower resolution digital cameras (webcam) may only be 72dpi,
whereas scanners can go to 4800dpi or higher. This resolution stays with
the image unless it is modified in an image editing program.
The number of pixels
HTML documents are intended for a screen (72 to 96dpi).
PDF documents are intended for a printer (300dpi or higher).
300 pixels on the screen make a 3 inch (or larger) image.
300 pixels on the printer make a 1 inch image.

I hope I'm not opening a can of worms by replying, but using Legacy 7's new
wall charting software, I created such a chart for my family for Christmas
gifts. I thought it looked good in Legacy Charting, but when I received the

I did it this way: I opened up one family folder where I had thrust

as a source. At the bottom of the source, I put a pencil checkmark and

Don't add any more information without sourcing it as you add it -
