Chapter Eleven — SGML Functions (continued)
Overview
The SGMLTWIPSToValue function converts a integer value of TWIPS to a pvalue.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
PVALUE = SGMLTWIPSToValue ( int value, PVALUE units, [boolean round] );
Parameters
value
An int specifying measurement in TWIPS (twentieth of points).
units
A PVALUE (dword) to use as a base for the units. The value portion is ignored.
round
A boolean to indicate whether to round the value to whole units. The default is FALSE.
Return Value
A PVALUE (dword) as the result of the translation or PT_UNTRANSLATED on error. The GetLastError function will return ERROR_SYNTAX.
Remarks
A TWIP, or twentieth of a point, is 1/20 of a printer's point, or equivalently 1/1440 of an inch. It is the standard unit of measure for positional and spacing values in SGML/XML-based document layout for applications such as Microsoft Word or Open Office (.docx).
SGMLTWIPSToValue converts a length expressed in twips into its equivalent CSS supported units, as such, the unit parameter must be a unit measurement such as PT_IN or PT_MM.
Units can also be expressed in border keywords using the PT_KEYWORD:
PT_KEYWORD | PK_BORDER_THIN Thin
PT_KEYWORD | PK_BORDER_MEDIUM Medium
PT_KEYWORD | PK_BORDER_THICK Thick
The function assumes the keyword ordinal values are for border-width group of CSS properties. Since the context is not checked, other property ordinal values will return unpredictable results.
