PowerPoint Resolution

[Doog]

What is the native resolution of PowerPoint ?

 

[Austin Myers]

No such thing, PowerPoint adjusts to whatever your current screen resolution
(and DPI) settings are.

That's a question that doesn't really have an answer.

Are pixels round or square ?

By the way, this is often the cause of videos failing to play properly in
the MCI player. (it's one of the things PFCMedia corrects. <g>)

That's talking about non-square pixels (or rectangular pixels)... no mention
of round pixels

Did you ever see a round pixel?

[Austin Myers]

Yup sure have. Although the tiny little fellas are hard to see. Actually
you can define the shape of the pixel within an asf stream to be just about
anything you want. Thankfully the idea of trying to use a round pixel has
pretty much died off. (Lots of people were playing with the idea in order
to get rid of the stair step effect of an angled line.)
