in a command like
do the numbers represent inches, centimeters, pixels or something else? And if it's pixels, how many pixels to an inch? I've been wondering this for a while now.

i dont think its a pixel, but if you want to convert from pixel to inch, or whatever use paint, and goto Image, Attributes then type in a pixel or inch amount and then change it to the other, and it will convert for you.

ok, thanks for the tip. But does anyone know the measurements for that command and others like it? It would help me in visualizing the program.

Uh, no. A unit in 3d space is a unit. In DBPro this unit has no real relationship to real life units, but in your games you could just figure out what you want the units to be.

What Cookyzue is kind of right. Paint works in 72 dpi (dots per inch), so 72 pixels would roughly be an inch.
