The present invention is a method for calibrating the physical pixel size of a display monitor (152). The physical pixel size calibration is based on the pixel size of a calibration window (170) with respect to an external object of known dimensions provided by the user, such as a 3.5" diskette, CD jewel case or dollar bill. In the preferred embodiment, the user holds a selected external object up against the calibration window, and then resizes the calibration window to the physical size of the external object. Physical pixel size is calculated on the basis of the known physical dimensions of the external object, and the pixel size coordinates of the boundaries of the resized calibration window. |
