Re: [libreoffice-users] horrizantal ruler measurement in pixels instead of mm,cm,inch

Hello, Arun,

I think you'll find that using 72 pixels per inch (or the equivalent in 
metric) will get you close to what you want. A pixel or dot is relative 
and in printing the dpi (dots per inch) are specified for halftones in a 
given publication.

Plus, when viewed in a web browser, you never know how the user has 
"text size" set, so there are really no guarantees how the page will 
look to any given user. The user needs that adjustment to walk the 
tightrope between their visual acuity and a useful amount of information 
on the screen and their physical screen size. I have become acutely 
aware of this (a) as I age and (b) since a friend of mine had an 
accident that affected their vision.

Cheers,

Richard
