By default, the rendered canvas will have the size of your screen. The screenshot() method provides two ways to increase to exported image resolution :

  • Using print_size, unit and dpi inputs : specify the size of the image at a specific dpi level. For example, you might want to have an (10cm, 15cm) image at 300 dpi.

  • Using the factor input : multiply the default image size by this factor. For example, if you have a (1920, 1080) monitor and if factor is 2, the exported image should have a shape of (3840, 2160) pixels.
