For example, a 12-point font is designed to fit within a 1/6" (12/72) line of text. Obviously, this does not mean that every character in the font is exactly 1/6" tall. In fact, some characters might be taller than 1/6". For example, in many fonts the character is taller than the nominal height of the font. To display correctly, the font needs some additional space between the text. This space is called the leading.
The following illustration shows a 72-point font. The solid lines show a 1" tall bounding box around the text. The dashed line is called the baseline. Most of the characters in a font rest on the baseline. The height of the font includes the portion above the baseline (the ascent) and the portion below the baseline (the descent). In the font shown here, the ascent is 56 points and the descent is 16 points.
When it comes to a computer display, however, measuring text size is problematic, because pixels are not all the same size. The size of a pixel depends on two factors: the display resolution, and the physical size of the monitor. Therefore, physical inches are not a useful measure, because there is no fixed relation between physical inches and pixels. Instead, fonts are measured in logical units. A 72-point font is defined to be one logical inch tall. Logical inches are then converted to pixels. For many years, Windows used the following conversion: One logical inch equals 96 pixels. Using this scaling factor, a 72-point font is rendered as 96 pixels tall. A 12-point font is 16 pixels tall.
This scaling factor is described as 96 dots per inch (DPI). The term dots derives from printing, where physical dots of ink are put onto paper. For computer displays, it would be more accurate to say 96 pixels per logical inch, but the term DPI has stuck.
To ensure that older programs work at high-DPI settings, the DWM implements a useful fallback. If a program is not marked as being DPI aware, the DWM will scale the entire UI to match the DPI setting. For example, at 144 DPI, the UI is scaled by 150%, including text, graphics, controls, and window sizes. If the program creates a 500 500 window, the window actually appears as 750 750 pixels, and the contents of the window are scaled accordingly.
To avoid DWM scaling, a program can mark itself as DPI-aware. This tells the DWM not to perform any automatic DPI scaling. All new applications should be designed to be DPI-aware, because DPI awareness improves the appearance of the UI at higher DPI settings.
A program declares itself DPI-aware through its application manifest. A manifest is a simply an XML file that describes a DLL or application. The manifest is typically embedded in the executable file, although it can be provided as a separate file. A manifest contains information such as DLL dependencies, the requested privilege level, and what version of Windows the program was designed for.
The listing shown here is only a partial manifest, but the Visual Studio linker generates the rest of the manifest for you automatically. To include a partial manifest in your project, perform the following steps in Visual Studio.
By marking your program as DPI-aware, you are telling the DWM not to scale your application window. Now if you create a 500 500 window, the window will occupy 500 500 pixels, regardless of the user's DPI setting.
GDI drawing is measured in pixels. That means if your program is marked as DPI-aware, and you ask GDI to draw a 200 100 rectangle, the resulting rectangle will be 200 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall on the screen. However, GDI font sizes are scaled to the current DPI setting. In other words, if you create a 72-point font, the size of the font will be 96 pixels at 96 DPI, but 144 pixels at 144 DPI. Here is a 72 point font rendered at 144 DPI using GDI.
Direct2D automatically performs scaling to match the DPI setting. In Direct2D, coordinates are measured in units called device-independent pixels (DIPs). A DIP is defined as 1/96th of a logical inch. In Direct2D, all drawing operations are specified in DIPs and then scaled to the current DPI setting.
For example, if the user's DPI setting is 144 DPI, and you ask Direct2D to draw a 200 100 rectangle, the rectangle will be 300 150 physical pixels. In addition, DirectWrite measures font sizes in DIPs, rather than points. To create a 12-point font, specify 16 DIPs (12 points = 1/6 logical inch = 96/6 DIPs). When the text is drawn on the screen, Direct2D converts the DIPs to physical pixels. The benefit of this system is that the units of measurement are consistent for both text and drawing, regardless of the current DPI setting.
A word of caution: Mouse and window coordinates are still given in physical pixels, not DIPs. For example, if you process the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message, the mouse-down position is given in physical pixels. To draw a point at that position, you must convert the pixel coordinates to DIPs.
We recommendation that for a desktop app, you use GetDpiForWindow; and for a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app, use DisplayInformation::LogicalDpi. Although we don't recommended it, it''s possible to set the default DPI awareness programmatically using SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext. Once a window (an HWND) has been created in your process, changing the DPI awareness mode is no longer supported. If you are setting the process-default DPI awareness mode programmatically, then you must call the corresponding API before any HWNDs have been created. For more info, see Setting the default DPI awareness for a process.
The GetClientRect function gets the new size of the client area, in physical pixels (not DIPs). The ID2D1HwndRenderTarget::Resize method updates the size of the render target, also specified in pixels. The InvalidateRect function forces a repaint by adding the entire client area to the window's update region. (See Painting the Window, in Module 1.)
The ID2D1RenderTarget::GetSize method returns the size of the render target in DIPs (not pixels), which is the appropriate unit for calculating layout. There is a closely related method, ID2D1RenderTarget::GetPixelSize, that returns the size in physical pixels. For an HWND render target, this value matches the size returned by GetClientRect. But remember that drawing is performed in DIPs, not pixels.
In some instances, the actual image dimension size is required in centimeters or inches instead of the number of pixels. In this example the image is going to be imported at a 1:1 scale into a SOLIDWORKS sketch so it can be used for tracing and surface modeling.
If you right-click an image file in Windows Explorer and select Properties, you obtain the image information with the pixel size. You can see how many pixels the image is made up of, and the image resolution. See the following image.
This does not help if we are looking for dimensions of the image in units of centimeters or inches. There are conversion factors to convert PX to CM or IN units, however, there is another easier way which is described below
If an image is opened in Microsoft Paint, the image properties tool will reveal more information. As shown in the following screenshot, holding Ctrl key on the keyboard and pressing E (Ctrl+E) in MS Paint opens up the image properties window in which image sizes are provided in three different units: Inches, Centimeters, and Pixels. Alternatively, the image properties window can be accessed from the menu: File > Properties.
Can someone please help me with a formula? I would like a value to be converted from mm to feet & inches. For example, if a cell has a value of 1716mm, i would like a formula to convert that number to feet and inches, 5' 7 9/16", as well as just inches, 67 9/16".
The easiest and safest way to achieve a new exterior door is to convert an existing window. Let's say you want a patio door from the master bedroom. Replacing one of your bedroom windows with a door beautifully achieves this goal and makes good use of your wall space. We want to lay out exactly what homeowners should know ahead of time when converting a window to a door. You can count on our team to explain the specifics to you when you start your conversion; in the meantime you can check out the step-by-step process on our window-to-door page. If you're looking for quick answers and useful facts, then continue reading.
Replacing one window with another of the same size does not require a building permit. Likewise, you can replace doors inside the same structural doorframe without a permit. However, cutting a new frame -even from an existing one - does need a permit. The permit ensures that your plan will be up-to-code when complete. The new aperture must be secure, insulated, and structurally sound to pass a building inspection. Being up to code is essential for selling your home in the future and, in some cases, maintaining your home insurance. If your home does not pass inspection after a window conversion, then future buyers could not get a loan to buy it from you. Converting a window into a door is a structural change. Because there is plumbing, wiring, and the potential for structural damage, your plans must be legally approved and a license granted.
The door you convert will be 2" inches narrower than the original window aperture. The standard door width (wide enough for a wheelchair) is 32" across the opening, so we advise choosing a window that is at least 38" wide across the glass. Universally, you will need to choose a window that is wider than the door you'd like to install. Wide window panels give you the opportunity to choose a double-door or frame a single-door. We have had many customers choose to install a sliding glass door or a set of French doors after converting a wide bay of windows. If you'd like a single door from a wide window, you can frame your door with decorative panels in the same style as many front doors. You can convert a narrower window into a narrow door. In this case, you will likely need a custom door to be created, which serves as an opportunity to personalize the door's design as well.
