Specifies the character Offset from the baseline, in points.
Pascal
propertyOffset: Integer;
Description
Use Offset to specify the character Offset from the baseline in points. If the value of Offset is positive, the character is a superscript; if the value is negative, the character is a subscript.
Alternatively, you can use property SubscriptStyle to specify whether the text is made of subscript and superscript characters. Note (= is equals; ~ is approximation)
| 1 point = 20 twips. (A twip is a TWenthIeth of a Point) |
For printing:
| 72 points = 1 physical inch. |
| 1440 twips = 1 physical inch. |
| 1 inch ~ 25,40 mm, thus |
| 2,83 points ~ 1 mm |
| 56,7 twips ~ 1 mm |
For screen:
| 72 points ~ 1 logical inch. |
| 1440 twips ~ 1 logical inch. |
The relation between a logical inch and a physical inch depends on your monitor/video driver. Windows typically uses 96 pixels per logical inch for small fonts and 120 pixels per logical inch for large fonts. So, if 1 logical inch = 96 pixels, then
| 1 pixel = 1/96 logical inch ~ 1440/96 twips = 15 twips = 3/4 point. |
