I did before I knew the true definition of "measure". A pixel does not have a standard constant of conversion, and therefore is not a measurement of distance.

Actually, the units are derived, but the measurements themselves are not. Take electrical current for example, there's some crazy definition for an amp like how much expansion force the current puts between the wires, but an amp's an amp. _________________ This help is informational only.

No...lol, if you didn't know the definition of measure (which you clearly still do not know), then you never did see my point (as I just said - not that I think you actually read that post or the one in reply to Mine's).

If you could point me to the post on ssforum, maybe I'd understand a bit more. However, I do believe that I do know the definition of measure now, since I just personally looked it up, and you cannot "measure" distance with pixels.

It's in this thread...y'know the one you're replying to that you should've already read.
Don't think it'll help you understand how to comprehend the word, though. I'd recommend m-w.com if you happen to be using dictionary.com.

SuSE, where do you disagree?
1.) You can only measure things with the proper unit types.
2.) Pixels are not a unit of distance.
Add 1 and 2 and you get that you can't measure distance in pixels. _________________ Hyperspace Owner

I would agree, if you didn't happen to be wrong about 1 & 2

There are 1310720 pixels on my screen right now. Does this mean that my screen is 1310720 pixels long? No. A pixel is NOT a unit of distance.
Let's do some dimensional analysis here. You measure resolution in, let's say, pixels per inch. That's a amount over a length, which of course does tell you something. However, if a pixel was a measurement of length, then that would be length over length, which evalutates to 1. Saying 1=1 is a little useless.

I agree. That'd be area, not length.

So you're saying that a pixel is a unit of area now?

No, I'm saying that you apparently don't know the difference between length and area and should probably be quiet. But yes, of course if you can measure distance you can measure area.
