<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I have to prepare a poster for a conference I'm attending
(online) and I thought I could use IPE for this.</p>
<p>Now, I've been told that I have to send a png file of dimensions
2500x1406 (I believe in pixels -- they didn't specify units) to
one of the conference organizers, so I thought I would make a
stylesheet with layout size 2500x1408, like this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><font face="monospace"><?xml version="1.0"?><br>
<!DOCTYPE ipestyle SYSTEM "ipe.dtd"><br>
<ipestyle name="poster_format"><br>
<!-- layout size for the poster --><br>
<layout paper="2500 1408" origin="0 0" frame="2500
1408"/><br>
<! -- other stuff, like colors and such --><br>
</ipestyle></font><br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>and then export the ipe file to a png. That, however, did not
work quite as expected: the exported png file did not have the
same dimensions as the layout. In fact, the png had different
dimensions depending on the zoom level on the canvas: e.g. the
smaller I could see the contents on IPE's GUI, the smaller (in
dimensions) the png file. I also tried to import the pdf-saved IPE
document into GIMP to then convert it into png, but the dimensions
were 3472x1952.</p>
<p>Is there a way to create an IPE document so that after exporting
it to png (using IPE's GUI or other) the file has dimensions
2500x1408? I wish I could send a pdf to the conference's
organizers but it has to be a png.<br>
</p>
<p>Thank you all,</p>
<p>LluĂs Alemany<br>
