| Summary | 0011839: constant "p" for pts to picas conversion is wrong | ||||
| Description | This was originally pointed out by José Antonio Rocha on the mail list. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Open Scripter console. Write a command 'print p' Run result: 1.0 -- should be 0.0833333 ... | ||||
| Additional Information | In the file units.cpp, there are these lines, starting at line 37: // PT, MM, IN, P, CM, C, °, % double ratio[] = { 1.0, 25.4/72.0, 1.0/72.0, 1.0, 2.54/72.0, 25.4/72.0/4.512, 1.0, 1.0 }; // double ratio[] = { 1.0, 25.4/72.0, 1.0/72.0, 1.0/12.0, 2.54/72.0, 25.4/72.0/4.512, 1.0, 1.0 }; return ratio[index]; For some reason, the line with the correct ration (1.0/12.0) has been commented out. Fixing this fixes the answer in the console, but I don't know if it might have other bad effects. I don't know why this was commented out in the first place. | ||||

>> Fixing this fixes the answer in the console, but I don't know if it might have other bad effects. It breaks unit conversion in spinboxes :S |

shouldn't that be fixed? |

Its commit 10373: 0000130: Allow base 12 type display of pica. Uses points to store the value and displays as XpY.Z That is.. pica are just points shown in a different format, not really a different unit. Not sure how to fix this properly for scripter though. |
