<pre>Description:
When a vector drawing is put in the gallery, recent versions of LibO (I think
since LibO 4.x or 5.x) create a bitmap to show in the gallery, that also
details if the object has a solid background or not.
Unfortunately, this preview bitmap is taken at a fixed resolution ignoring the
drawing size. This is not the best thing to do as it results in wasted
resources when the image is big and in a poor rendering in the gallery when the
image is small.
Consider the following example:
1) A 10 inch X 10 inch vector object (e.g., a whole drawing) is placed in the
gallery. Assuming that the preview bitmap is taken at 100dpi (I do not know the
exact resolution being used), a 1000x1000 pixel bitmap is used for the preview.
When the preview appears in the gallery, given that the object will likely be
offered a 0.5x0.5 inch space, the preview will have a quite redundant 2000 dpi
effective resolution.
2) A small vectory symbol 0.25 x 0.25 inches is placed in the gallery. Assuming
that the preview bitmap is taken at 100dpi (I do not know the exact resolution
being used), a 25x25 pixel bitmap is used for the preview. When the preview
appears in the gallery, given that the object will likely be offered a 0.5x0.5
inch space, the preview will have a poor 50 dpi effective resolution.
Imho, the preview bitmap in the gallery should be created with a fixed number
of pixels on the x and y axis (e.g. 256), so that it always shows well when the
gallery is opened.
means that when the bitmap is shown in gallery, being given a fixed size, it is
shown at different resolutions,
