Twip (twentieth of a point) is a screen-independent unit to ensure that the proportion and position of screen elements are the same on all graphical display systems. A twip is equal to a 20th of a printer's point.
1 pica = 1/6 inch
1 point = 1/12 pica
1 twip = 1/20 point or 20 twips = 1 point
1 twip = 1/567 centimeter or 567 twips = 1 centimeter
1 twip = 1/1440 inch or 1440 twips = 1 inch
The number of twips per pixel depends on hardware and screen resolution (e.g. 800×600: approx. 15 twips per pixel).
