""" Units conversions and constants

The purpose of the module is to keep Sugar independent from the
|
|
screen size, factory and DPI. There a few use cases that needs
|
|
to be considered:
|
|
|
|
- The XO display. The screen DPI is 201 and the screen
|
|
resolution is 1200x900. The screen factor is 4:3.
|
|
- The Sugar emulator runned on traditional screens. Resolution
|
|
is variable, ranging from 800x600 up to 1200x900. The DPI
|
|
is usually but not necessarily 96. The screen factor is
|
|
either 4:3 or 16:9
|
|
- Other embedded devices. DPI, screen resolution and screen
|
|
factor are variable.
|
|
|
|
To achieve the goal a few rules needs to be respected when
|
|
writing code for Sugar:
|
|
|
|
- Never use absolute positioning. Use the layout facilities
|
|
provided by HippoCanvas. If you need custom layouts make
|
|
sure they adapt to different screen resolutions.
|
|
- Never specify sizes, fonts, borders or padding using pixels.
|
|
Instead use the device independt units provided by this
|
|
module.
|
|
|
|
We are currently providing the following resolution independent
|
|
units:
|
|
|
|
- Points.
|
|
- Grid. One cell of the screen grid as specificed by the HIG.
|
|
- Microgrid. One microcell of the screen grid as
|
|
specificed by the HIG.
|
|
- A set of icon sizes as specified by the HIG (standard, small,
|
|
medium, large, xlarge).
|
|
|
|
Just scaling UI elements on the base of the screen DPI is not
|
|
enough to provide a good experience. For example on smaller
|
|
screens smaller fonts or icons might be acceptable to gain
|
|
screen aestate. For this reason a constant zoom factor is
|
|
applied to all the transformation from resolution independent
|
|
units to device units.
