Mixing Units
Can problems arise from mixing units? My page is defined in cm and images in
px.
Thanks,
Luke

It should not be a problem to mix units. However, I've seen a number of
times recently when FOP developers indicate that pictures should never
be defined using 'px'. Rather they should be defined using 'cm', 'mm',
'in'. I believe the thinking is something to the effect of: 'px' is
resolution dependent, whereas 'cm', 'mm', & 'in' are not.
