Re: Tip for Landscaping and creating Bricks - Tool for collecting textures
Ok, works really as expected.

Just anotherr thing, there is an "calucaltion error" for the size.

The Editor grabs the Pixels of the Pic divided by 10 to give a size.
So 376 Pixel results in 37,6 cm (or 376 mm) but this must be (with 96 dpi Screen-Resolution 10 cm.

Calculation is basically easy 96 dpi means 96 DOTS per 2,54 cm (Inch), in terms of Computer and for this it is legal to use a dot as a Pixel.

I extracted my Textures to a target size of 10 cm. So it's easy to control.

One Pixel of 96 dpi has 264,58 Microns.
Multiplied by 376 gives a result of 99.428,8 Microns.
10 cm = 100 mm = 100.000 Microns.

(Software is still in German and dedicated to Screenprinting calculations respecting Tonal Range an lpi...)
I can make a smaller Version just for calucalting ;)
No installation needed, but needs some small fixes.

Please just take a look to the Slider named "Ausgabeaufl.:" ignore all the rest, except the calculation on the right side named: "Pixelgröße DMD". The calculated value is in Microns (1/1000 mm). This size is directly connected with the Resolution set. Ever. ;)
Using this, you can very easy figure out any Pixelsize from 1 to 2400 dpi...

So if possible, the Libary-Tools should read the Screen Resolution from the System, using the amount of Pixels of the Pic as Multiplier to identify the correct Picture size.
Basically, there are two resolutions 96 and 72 dpi (for the Screen), but in general, it doesn't matter. 10 cm of 96 dpi is the same as 10 cm of 72 dpi. The difference in Terms of Math is the SIZE and the AMOUNT of Pixels used to built the 10 cm.

At all, a suggestion to get better control for dimensional works and calculations.

But again, also actually - big job, absolutely useful tool. I'll check out the Licencing Rules for the Signs i prepare. If allowed, i'll upload the Libary - contains almost all Safety Signs, First Help Signs, etc.
This could be useful if someone does the same work as me...creating a building to get finally safety and security-plans with escape directions etc. and additonaly a option to give the files to others to walkthrough and get an idea of the location BEFORE somethings like a fire happens...
