  184.           These values come into play mainly in relation to
  185.           printing:  they do not affect the size of the image in
  186.           pixels, but they determine its size on paper when
  187.           printed.  They can also affect the way the image is
  188.           displayed on the monitor: if "Dot for Dot" is switched off
  189.           in the <span class="guimenu">View</span> menu, then at 100$ zoom,
  190.           Gimp attempts to display the image on the monitor at the
  191.           correct physical size, as calculated from the pixel
  192.           dimensions and the resolution.  The display may not be
  193.           accurate, however, unless the monitor has been calibrated.
  194.           This can be done either when Gimp is installed, or from
  195.           the Display tab of
  196.           the Preferences dialog.
