Resolution
This setting determines how detailed the generated pattern image will be. Basically,
the outline of the line image is converted into pieces of broken lines. To make a more
detailed pattern, you need more points on the broken lines, which also increases the
length of the file.
In general,
Normal
provides a sufficient resolution without making the file too large.
If
Coarse
gives a satisfactory result for a particular bitmap image, select
Coarse
in
order to keep the file as small as possible.
Select
Fine
only if the image contains many small details, and
Normal
does not give
a satisfactory result.
