1vw = 1/100th of whatever size it is. So for 1200px, you would multiply the total by 1/100th or 8/100. To put that in decimal form, remember dividing by 100 moves the decimal two to the left because there are two zeros in 100.
8/100 = 0.08 So.. 1200 * 0.08 = 96 or 1000 * 0.08 = 80 200 * 0.08 = 16 80 + 16 = 96 if seeing it from 1000 makes it easier. Also, I believe that.. 0.08em = 8% = 8vw (correct me if I am wrong) HTH, Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com > On Apr 3, 2017, at 11:06 PM, Rick Gordon <li...@rickgordon.com> wrote: > > It's 8% of 1200. > 1200 * .08 = 96 > > -------------------- > On 3/31/17, 6:08 PM Crest Christopher said: >> I'm still not understanding the math as to; How do you get 96px from 8vw if >> the viewport width is 1200px ? > ___________________________________________ > RICK GORDON > EMERALD VALLEY GRAPHICS AND CONSULTING > ___________________________________________ > WWW: http://www.shelterpub.com > ______________________________________________________________________ > css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] > http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d > List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ > List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html > Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
