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. Ben
