Recommended image resolution for Pillar books?

Does anybody know - what's the recommended resolution for screenshot-type images, for Pillar-generated PDFs?

I don't know much about creating printed materials (that will also be displayed on the web).

Specifically:

1. Is it ok to just put in arbitrary resolution and count on LaTeX or whatever to size them to the printed page correctly?

2. Does it matter (is it advantageous) whether one puts the width= attribute on the figure declarations?

General advice?

I would use the width attribute to size the image with respect to his
surrounding text (e.g., half of the line width).

How would one do that? Does the width attribute take HTML style parameters (px, %)?

in the Pillar chapter of EnterprisePharo, I give an example:

+Caption of the picture>file://figures/pier-logo.png|width=50+

50 means half of the line width. Currently, there is no way to specify
something in px.

Ahhh I see. I assumed the width params were in pixels. Thanks!
