Well, my solution will give you fairly arbitrary resolution (repeated here with an added numberbox for variable resolution):

#P window setfont "Sans Serif" 9.;
#P number 154 98 60 9 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 221 221 221 222 222 222 0 0 0;
#P button 58 89 15 0;
#P flonum 58 160 70 9 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 221 221 221 222 222 222 0 0 0;
#P window linecount 1;
#P newex 58 140 128 196617 scale 0 25600 -128. 128.;
#P newex 58 108 76 196617 random 25600;
#P comment 217 98 55 196617 resolution;
#P connect 5 0 2 2;
#P connect 5 0 1 1;
#P connect 2 0 3 0;
#P connect 1 0 2 0;
#P connect 4 0 1 0;
#P window clipboard copycount 6;

It's probably not as good as the Litter solution, but the price is right.
