How many pixels make a twip? and vice versa

Asked By Shallu Gupta on 07-Apr-06 06:56 AM

Twips are screen-independent units to ensure that the proportion of screen elements are the same on all display systems. 
A twip is defined as being 1/1440 of an inch.
Whereas A Pixel is a screen-dependent unit, standing for 'picture element'. A pixel is a dot that represents the smallest graphical measurement on a screen.
