This is not a trivial issue Smile

First of all, to print it, you perhaps want to know its physical dimensions. If it is loaded from the file, in Raster::Info there is a "dots" member that should be set to exactly this.

Now the next problem is rescaling. Oviously, rescaling the full page results in very big Image. To solve this, you need to get a step deeper and do the rescale by parts ("bands").

The simplest way how to do that is to use:

void DrawRasterData(Draw& w, int x, int y, int cx, int cy, const String& data);

Simply put the image file (.png, .jpg ... anything you have plugin in project) into "data" member and it will do the rest. It will even "RLE compress" the result (will detect uniform color areas and replace sending raster pixels with DrawRect).
