  2. Twip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twip

    A pixel is a dot that represents the smallest graphical measurement on a screen. Twips are the default unit of measurement in Visual Basic (version 6 and earlier, prior to VB.NET). Converting between twips and screen pixels is achieved using the TwipsPerPixelX and TwipsPerPixelY properties [ 3 ] or the ScaleX and ScaleY methods.

  3. Pixel density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_density

    Pixels per inch (or pixels per centimetre) describes the detail of an image file when the print size is known. For example, a 100×100 pixel image printed in a 2 inch square has a resolution of 50 pixels per inch. Used this way, the measurement is meaningful when printing an image.

  4. Device-independent pixel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device-independent_pixel

    A device-independent pixel (also: density-independent pixel, dip, dp) is a unit of length.. A typical use is to allow mobile device software to scale the display of information and user interaction to different screen sizes.

  5. Dot pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_pitch

    [1] [2] In the case of an RGB color display, the derived unit of pixel pitch is a measure of the size of a triad plus the distance between triads. Dot pitch may be measured in linear units (with smaller numbers meaning higher resolution), usually millimeters (mm), or as a rate, for example, dots per inch (with a larger number meaning higher ...

  6. Display resolution standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution_standards

    The aspect ratio also affects the perceived size of objects on the screen. [5] The native screen resolution together with the physical dimensions of the graphics display can be used to calculate its pixel density. An increase in the pixel density often correlates with a decrease in the size of individual pixels on a display.

  7. Font rasterization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font_rasterization

    Especially for small font sizes, rendering of vectorized fonts in "thumbnail" view can vary significantly with thumbnail size. Here, a small change in the upright= multiplier from 1.70 to 1.75 results in significant and mutually distinct rendering anomalies, possibly due to rounding errors resulting from use of integer font sizes.

  8. Dots per inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_per_inch

    Thus, for example, a 10-point font on a Macintosh (at 72 PPI) was represented with 10 pixels (i.e., 10 PPEm), whereas a 10-point font on a Windows platform (at 96 PPI) at the same zoom level is represented with 13 pixels (i.e., Microsoft rounded 13 + 1 ⁄ 3 to 13 pixels, or 13 PPEm) – and, on a typical consumer grade monitor, would have ...

  9. Font hinting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font_hinting

    For the purpose of on-screen text display, font hinting designates which primary pixels are interpolated to more clearly render a font. [citation needed] Hints are usually created in a font editor during the typeface design process and embedded in the font. A font can be hinted either automatically (through processed algorithms based on the ...
