- -xres stands for x-resolution or horizontal resolution, and -yres refers to y-resolution or vertical resolution. The angle brackets < > are used to mark essential content. int stands for integer. There are four special parameter values which have special meaning:
- -4 : high
- -3 : medium
- -2 : low
- -1 : draft
- Besides, you can enter a number to indicate DPI, which is used to describe the resolution number of dots per inch in a digital print and the printing resolution of a hard copy print dot gain; the increase in the size of the halftone dots during printing.
