Legend Code

Question

Hello, 
 i want to create Legend Codes with images based on a specific Norm. I already created some and added the images. My problem is, that i dont know in which size i need to have the images so they are displayed correctly in the log, like the ones from Bentley. I already found some information in the "How To Use Color Coding for Material Graphics". There the images for the colors are 100*60 pixels. But they look a little bit smaller than the pattern-based graphics. For a filled graphic its not important, because it does not have an effect on the scaling, but it has for the pattern-based graphics. I just cant find out the size from those existing images. Can anyone help?

Hi Daniel, 
 Thank you so much for the detailed input. It is extremely helpful. I was able to replicate what you are experiencing, and I think figured out what is going on... 
 By default, GIMP uses a default resolution of 300 ppi when creating new images. If you create images at that resolution using the pixel dimensions suggested in this Wiki article , it will make them print much smaller. If you change that to 96 ppi, the images will behave and print as suggested in the Wiki article.

I have updated the Wiki article with a note that the suggested pixel dimensions are for a 96 ppi image. 
 (Sorry, we had not come across this issue before, but thanks for the details to help identify it.) 
 As far as your general feedback... We are planning to review how OpenGround manages graphics/symbols. And we are also looking to provide standard configurations for additional regions. I will share your feedback with the rest of the team as we plan for those efforts.
