Brynn: (some/all?) Europeans use a comma instead of a decimal point so
25,4 means 25.4

Example: an A4 is 210 mm x 297 mm. Let's convert it in px using the 90 DPI
210/25,4*90 = 744 px
297/25,4*90 = 1052 px
"
I think it uses math symbols that I don't understand. (I've learned math with
that ancient world of inches, feet and yards, rather than metric system.)
Is it 210 divided by 25? If it is, why do you divide by 25?
I think 4* 90 means 4 times 90, but I don't understand where the 4 comes from.
And the comma is foreign to me, if it means anything more than pause.
Thanks again,
brynn
