Designing for Cross-Platform Compatibility
The following figures illustrate the results with and without system color
matching.
Cross-Platform Compatible Units
Cross-platform compatible GUIs should look correct on computers having
different screen sizes and resolutions. Since the size of a pixel can vary on
different computer dis plays, using the default f igure
Units of pixels does not
produceaGUIthatlooksthesameonallplatforms.
For this reason, GUIDE defaults the
Units property for the figure to
characters.
System-Dependent Units
Character units are defined by characters from the default system font. The
width of a character unit equals the width of the letter
x in the system font.
The height of a character unit is the distance between the baselines of two
lines of text. Note that character units are not square.
