Remarks

Some objects (eg. CanvasDevice) can be used simultaneously to draw at many different DPI (dots-per-inch) settings, but others (eg. CanvasControl) are fixed to a specific DPI. This interface represents things that have a specific DPI. When other resources are created from it they can automatically inherit this DPI, whereas when a resource that cares about DPI is created directly from a device, the DPI must be explicitly specified.

For more information, see DPI and DIPs.
