September 20, 2012 at 14:1713 Gigapixel Xkcd Comic
Yesterday’s Xkcd Click and Drag comic is a real quest that can take a whole day to complete. The entire comic book takes 165.888 x 79.872 px, i.e. 13 gigapixels. If you print it with a resolution of 300 dpi, you get a poster of 14 x 6.75 meters.
By evening, manuals, a zoom version , a squeezed map in low-res ( 1 , 2 ), a special browser bookmarklet for generating fake mouse movements to scroll comics from the keyboard, and a full-screen version with scrolling from the keyboard appeared on the Internet .
All parts of the comic in hi-res can be downloaded via torrent. The full version is assembled from 225 pictures 2048x2048, with a total volume of 5.52 MB. Glued through a browser can be viewed here .
Finally, there is a glued hi-res picture in PDF format (the link does not work yet due to excess traffic on Dropbox), mirror 1 , mirror 2 . Some snippets:
