Hi Everyone,

I am just wondering if it is possible to give report dimensions in pixels. For example
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1, ITEM=1, OBJECT=TEXT, FONT='ARIAL', SIZE=13 , COLOR=RGB(90 90 90), $.
Here size 13 is in pts not pixels.

I have gone through the below page in documentation and looks like only INCHES, CM and PTS are only allowed units. Please provide your inputs on this one.

If you want to style a heading in HTML format (Assumed due to 13px size), I would suggest using CSS.

Thanks Waz. That is my last resort.But, was just wondering if there is a possible workaround in FOCUS itself.

Your last resort would be asking TechSupport

From your other posts I gather you're working on responsive design. In that case, forget about pixels. They don't scale at all.

Why that matters? Try viewing the same result on a "normal" HD computer display vs. a 4K display the same size vs. a retina display. The same number of pixels gets you a very different result on each, and probably way too small on the 4K display or way too big on the HD display.

Isn't there a "UNITS=PX" available in the STYLESHEET? Not that it'll help here but it may, keeping in mind Wep's "HD computer display vs. a 4K display the same size vs. a retina display" comment.

Hi Wep5622,

Yes, I am working on using the responsive design. if pixels don't scale, which unit you think is better to use for responsive design.

Hi Doug,

UNITS=PX did not work for me.

I looked back and the project to implement UNIT-PX was never implemented and has been dropped as a new feature enhancement.


Thank you for using Focal Point!
