Some clarification please. The SVGLength::convertToSpecifiedUnits() method is described as follows: "Preserve the same value, but convert to the specified unitType. Object attributes unitType, valueAsSpecified and valueAsString might be modified as a result of this method." My inital interpretation of this was that the method is intended to convert from one unit type to another so that, for example, 5 mm would be converted to 0.5 cm. However, on a second reading, the phrase "preserve the same value" make me wonder if the intention is simply to change the unit type and to leave the value unchanged so that, in the previous example, 5mm would be converted to 5cm. Which of these two interpretations is the intended one? ---- Steven Dickson, Phone: +1 (604) 684 7793 x102 Software Devoper, Fax: +1 (604) 684 0298 Savage Software, sdickson@savagesoftware.com Vancouver, BC, CANADA
