Scaling images between a 2.4" TFT and 3.2" TFT

I had developed code with a 3.2" TFT and had used the Adafruit_GFX and Adafruit_ILI9341 library.

Later there was a need to port the same to a 2.4" TFT and I was planning to scale down the user screen image defenitions.

But to my surprise ( and happiness ) I found that the same old code worked on the 2.4" display with no change at all. It sized itself small ....

OK both had the 320 x 240 pixel resolution and maybe thats the reason. I always though that the 3.2" TFT had more pixels than the 2.4" pixel ?

But it looks like that the size of the pixel alone is large in 3.2" compared to 2.4" ... is my understanding correct ?? Would like to get some document that explains this stuff.

Thanks
