I would also like to inform you that indeed I did understood what you meant.

Hence, you cannot measure a real world object in pixels without a conversion factor (DPI). |

Pixel - The basic unit of the composition of an image on a television screen, computer monitor, or similar display.
Measure - Dimensions, quantity, or capacity as ascertained by comparison with a standard. |

I took a gay web design class and one of the questions was how many pixels are there per inch, which I thought was the gayest question ever, so I proceeeded to write how this depends on the resolution and got it wrong.. see apparently the book assumes everyone's using 800x600 so DPI is a constant... gay class... gay... |

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. |

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. |

yeah im applying other apsects then just science. i cant help it.
i beg to differ on the last point tho, if asked 100 ppl to take a stick and cut it to exactly 1000 pixels. maybe first they would look at me like i was nuts. but if i paid them, and gave em all the same screens, and a nice big magnifying glass.... i would get no less of accurate result, as compared to lets say just a standard ruler. it would just take longer, and be genrealy a great big pain in the ass for anything you wanted to try and dimension properly. specialy if it was larger then the screen. ill try to stop now. hehe |
