I have been playing with producing a form in FiveWin.
I use the following for conversion from Pixel's to Inches.

nWidth := 1280
nHeight := 200

oPrn:Pix2Inch( @nHeight,@nWidth )
oPrn:Inch2Pix( @nHeight,@nWidth )

nWidth does not equal 1280
nHeight does not equal 200

Should it?
Is this correct?

Thanks,

Byron,

I have tested your code this way:

And on the first MsgInfo() I get 0,333333 and 2.13, and at the second MsgInfo() I get 200,007183 and 1280,10 which are quite aproximated to 200 and 1280 (the original values) and understanding that there are no "decimals" of pixels, then we could round them to 200 and 1280

Antonio,

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

With the same code:

I get on the first MsgInfo 2.13, and .3333 as well, but when I go back I get 1182, and 99.95,
It seems the second method subtracts the ::nXoffset, and ::nYoffset, on my printer they equal 100.

When adding a new method McsInch2Pix which eliminates the ::nXoffset, and ::nYoffset I get the following:
First MsgInfo 2.13, and .3333 again, and 1282.68, and 199.95 on the second.
I assume the're a little different because your printer is different than mine.

Is this the problem, my version has the nXoffset, and nYoffset?

Byron,

Instead of implementing new methods, you could set ::nXoffset and ::nYoffset to zero:

PRINTER oPrn

oPrn:nXoffset = 0
oPrn:nYoffset = 0
oPrn:Pix2Inch( @nHeight, @nWidth )
...

I am using the default printer on Win8. No printers installed on this pc.
