Abstract
OpenOffice Draw currently exports all bitmap file formats in 96 DPI resolution. This resolution is insufficient for use with bitmap editors or for printing. Since a vector editor like OO Draw cannot perform free-hand paint operations (eg. random airbrushing, erasing, etc) the images it produces are necessarily very limited in scope. Simple object gradients do not replace this need.
The purpose of any export function is to allow integration with other programs. True integration would allow a user to compose, size, and maintain a vector quality drawing in OoDraw, and yet export an instance of it for specialized freehand manipulations by a bitmap editor in a final presentation graphic.
The only stumbling block is Draw's present 96 DPI export resolution. This specification would change that resolution to a maximum of 600 DPI, for a maximum file size to accommodate the US Letter and A4 formats.
