--- Comment #5 from Jelle <chubbym...@yahoo.com> ---
With the CCS 2.1 standard setting px as 96px/inch, it should be fairly
straightforward to implement PX as a measurement unit. It would certainly help
authors like me that do design of backgrounds and graphical element in pixel
measures for websites and other on screen content to be able to use the same
measures for instance for Impress (which I believe is mainly for on screen
presentations rather than print) to use a more direct approach.
The request has been lingering since 2004 (Issue 35835). I honestly don't get
why this is such an issue. In bitmaps pixels represent points on the map. On
screen it is just the amount of points horizontal and vertical. Rescaling them
has been standard for the past 30 years or so. Pixels are the only measurement
usable in web design and SVG vector graphics use pixels as measurement for
their points in all major authoring software.
The main advantage of being able to use pixels as measurement unit would be to
be able to easily import graphics from third party applications and make work
flow a bit more fluent. Having to set the screen size to 10.666666666667" by 8"
to simulate a 1024x768 screen isn't all that intuitive. For poor people like me
who use metrics it is even worse if you have to double convert. I'm rather bad
at floating point calculations out of my head.
Please help the effort to move to the paperless office by implementing pixels
as units.
