Dekameter


A dekameter (dam) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 10 meters. It sits between a meter and a hectometer in size. Although it is an official part of the metric system, the dekameter is rarely used in everyday life, education, or even science. For example, a small swimming pool might be around 2 dekameters long. The symbol for dekameter is "dam". Since most people prefer using meters or kilometers, the dekameter is more of a theoretical unit used mainly for teaching the structure of the metric system.




Twip


A twip (short for twentieth of a point) is a very small unit of length used in digital typography and computer graphics. It equals 1/20 of a typographic point, or 1/1440 of an inch.


Key facts:

  • Used in software and digital layout to specify very fine measurements for text, spacing, and graphics



  • Helps achieve high precision in formatting and display, especially in word processors and graphic design programs



Twips allow for detailed control over layout and formatting beyond what whole points can provide, ensuring smooth and precise rendering on screens and printers.
