If you prefer to use inches for screen distance but you want to print out pixels, you can use the pixels method to convert any valid screen distance string into a pixel value; for example:
$pixels = $widget->pixels("2i"); # What is 2 inches in pixels? $pixels = $widget->pixels("2m"); # What is 2 millimeters in pixels?
The pixels method rounds to the nearest whole pixel. You can get a fractional pixel result by using fpixels:
$pixels = $widget->fpixels("2i"); # What is 2 inches in pixels? $pixels = $widget->fpixels("2m"); # What is 2 millimeters in pixels?
