    indeed not, there's a limitation on the size of objects. Too bad, but come on, who honestly expected that to work right?

  I like this, but the calibration method is a little difficult. My preferred method is to enter a good guess of the monitor size, and then compare a virtual rule with a real rule until they are equal. A nice example is http://pective.com/pic/10-cm-ruler http://pective.com/pic/10-cm-ruler because it has international and imperial units. Also, entering the monitor size is difficult because it opens a new mini-window without the old value. I’d like to have the old value and be able to edit it as text or use a up/down button to make small changes. I used a similar method to copy the format of a document from Word to LaTeX. In my monitor, with a 141% zoom the image has the actual size, so I can compare the margins and line separations and size of the logos.
