[Interest] DPI

[igor.mironchik at gmail.com]

QScreen::physicalDotsPerInch returns the same value as 
QDesktopWidget::physicalDpi.

But why do you think that QScreen::physicalDotsPerInch more reliable?

P.S. I did not look at the Qt code yet, but I guess that I have to do it...

I find QScreen::physicalDotsPerInch to be more reliable, but if the platform
plugin you are using does not provide the information, then Qt will not have
it. Though you can may be able to calculate it if you know the physical 
screen
size.

So 1cm? One inch is 2.54cm, so divide device DPI with 2.54
