You can combine those three any way you want.
So is this how you would handle the different dpi at similar resolution? A tench inch tablet has about double the screen area of a seven inch tablet, but both have similar pixel resolutions. So a button that's 100x100 pixels on the ten inch tablet is about a third to a quarter the size on the seven inch tablet (that's where Steve Job's comment about filing down your finger tips to a quarter of their size" came from) and has to be more like 170x170 pixels to have the same physical size (assuming the ten inch one has more pixels than the seven inch one). Now on PCs you don't care about these differences too much because you assume that with the mouse, people can hit buttons of any size, and if it's too small, they'll make the fonts bigger or change to a lower, non-native resolution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
