Hello, My program would like to known how far a point is from the left edge (and the top edge) of a canvas, the measurement unit is inch. For example, when I catch a mouse event and determine that the mouse position is (72, 72), which is the number of points counted from the left edge and the top edge (72 pixcels in the 1024x768 screen is different from 72 pixcels in 800x600 screen), how I translate these points into the actual distance (in inch)? In many java 2D documents, they say that 72 device units will be mapped into one inch. How should I understand this issue? Many thanks for your answers. I sorry if my question is so basic since I'm getting acquainted with java 2D.
