[Cross Posted] High res screenshots of Sugar

[Sayamindu Dasgupta-2]

Hello,
The Turkish team is trying print sugar manuals and they need high res
(300 dpi ??) screenshots of sugar for that. Any idea on how to do that
?
Thanks,
Sayamindu

To take a screenshot in sugar, press "Alt+1". It will be saved to the journal.

That's the highest resolution they will get on the XO, otherwise they
can use sugar-emulator and crop it themselves.

Can you tell them that's a silly request? A screenshot, by definition,  
is limited to the screen resolution.

If it's too hard to educate their art department, just make a  
screenshot and adjust the dpi in PhotoShop to 300. They won't notice.

Or do what OLPC's PR does, fake the screenshots in illustrator. Eben  
certainly has a lot of them lying around.

If you *really* wanted to get fancy, run Sugar inside a VNC server of  
say 12000x9000 pixels at 2000 dpi. Sugar is designed to be scalable to  
all resolutions so in theory this should work. In practice you'll find  
there are some things that are not really scaled.

Yeah - that's what confused me :-S

But don't you think the print process will break in that case ?

Problem is that the mockups/illustrator stuff are not in Turkish.

Fonts will probably be messed up in that case.

Thanks,
