Size
Width: Plane width in scene units
Height:Plane height in scene units
Material Tab

Resample Bitmap to Optimal Size For Better Performance
If this option is checked (recommended) the bitmap is automatically re sampled to a resolution that is optimal for the OpenGL engine. The scaling of the bitmap is not changed. If you cannot allow re sampling of the bitmap this option should not be checked.
