Pixels do not have dimensions. They are just numbers representing exposure information (RGB brightness) derived from several adjacent sensor sites on an imaging chip.

Only when you represent pixels as dots on a monitor, or as dots on paper, are pixels represented at a certain dimension.

You can enlarge an image of a certain set of pixel dimensions many times, and the pixels are represented by many dots. But the pixels remain in the file. They are *represented* by dots on a screen or paper...

Given a particular output device, you may be able to represent a pixel with a dot. But you may also represent two pixels or four pixels with a dot, or one pixel with 50 or 100 dots... Hence, you must specify the device resolution and size the file to that resolution in software (1 pixel in the file = 1 dot on screen or 1 monitor dot represented on paper at some magnification like 72 or 96 PPI) for this chart to be useful.
