MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - some basic questions about width/height/size

angharad09 · 08-18-2020, 09:21 AM

If anyone can help out with one or more of the following questions, I'd be grateful. I've been trying to read up on them for a couple of days and am still not quite getting it.

(1a)
When width and height are given as %s, what are they a % of?
The viewing screen?
Some absolute value set higher up in the hierarchy?
The size of the image in pixels (if it's an image)?
Something else?
(1b)
Do % values affect images and text blocks the same way?

(2)
I know it's important to get image size right for quality+size reasons, but does image size also affect height/width %s in any way?

(3)
Are any of the answers different for epub vs azw3/mobi?

Many thanks.
