Understand Point and Millimeter Units
A point is a unit of measurement commonly used in typography. It is traditionally defined as 1/72 of an inch. Different variations exist, such as the PostScript point (1/72 inch) and the desktop publishing point (1/72.27 inch).
A millimeter (mm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one thousandth of a meter. It is widely used for precise measurements in various fields, including engineering, manufacturing, and science.
The relationship between points and millimeters depends on the specific definition of the point being used. For example, if using the PostScript point (1/72 inch), then 1 inch equals 25.4 mm, and therefore 1 point equals approximately 0.3528 mm.
How to Convert Point to Millimeter
- Understand the relationship: There isn’t a direct conversion factor because points are a relative unit (dependent on DPI) while millimeters are an absolute unit.
- Determine the DPI: DPI (dots per inch) specifies how many dots (pixels) fit into an inch. Common values are 72 DPI or 96 DPI.
- Convert points to inches: Divide the number of points by the DPI. (Inches = Points / DPI)
- Convert inches to millimeters: Multiply the number of inches by 25.4 (since 1 inch = 25.4 mm). (Millimeters = Inches * 25.4)
Example: Convert 144 points to millimeters assuming a DPI of 72. First, 144 points / 72 DPI = 2 inches. Then, 2 inches * 25.4 mm/inch = 50.8 mm. So, 144 points is equal to 50.8 millimeters at 72 DPI.
