Description

The PenWidthToPoints() function takes a pen width and returns the point size for that pen. The pen width for a line style may be returned by the StyleAttr() function. The pen width returned by the StyleAttr() function may be in points or pixels. Pen widths of less than ten are in pixels. Any pen width of ten or greater is in points. PenWidthToPoints() only returns values for pen widths that are in points. To determine if pen widths are in pixels or points, use the IsPenWidthPixels() function.

Example

Include "MAPBASIC.DEF"
			Dim CurPen As Pen
			Dim Width As Integer
			Dim PointSize As Float
			CurPen = CurrentPen()
			Width = StyleAttr(CurPen, PEN_WIDTH)
			If Not IsPenWidthPixels(Width) Then
				PointSize = PenWidthToPoints(Width)
			End If
