Dear list,

sorry for the beginner's question. How do I work out the maximum
achievable resolution when rasterizing a vector map on a scale
1:10000? In other words what is the resolution of a map with a scale
1:10000?

thank you,

Chi Kit

Mate,

"Resolution - the degree of detail visible in a photographic or television image."

I think you need to have a quick google of "resolution", and also look up DPI. Resolution is a decision you have to make depending on the  type of analysis and/or output you are chasing, and the degree of precision you want. 

The only answer I can think of to your current question is that resolution is not necessarily related to scale.

hope that helps a little bit.
