That means
Yes, if you review my post, this is what I saw after running it through pdftex and Phil saw the same distorsion using his viewers. I remember dot matrix and even laser printers with different direction, one HP LaserJet had 300 dpi vertically and 600 dpi horizontally. This is the reason to support different resolutions in different directions but I am not aware of any nowaday's printer with such properties. I would suggest not to set x- and y- resolutions to different values. > the different resolutions in the pHYs PNG chunk is wrong. > You can fix this in Gimp --> Menu --> Image --> Scale Image: > Set the same physical resolution value to both the "X resolution" > and the "Y resolution".
