Differences Between vh and pc
Viewport Height (vh) is a relative unit that scales according to 1% of the height of the viewport. Picas (pc) are a unit used in print media, where 1 pica is equivalent to 12 points or 1/6 of an inch. vh units are useful for scalable and responsive design based on height, while picas are used for print layouts and designs.
Advantages of Using vh
Using vh units allows for better scalability and flexibility in web design. Since vh is relative to the height of the viewport, it enables elements to scale proportionally to the viewport height. This is useful for responsive design and for creating layouts that adapt to different screen sizes.
How to Convert vh to pc
To convert vh to picas, you need to know the height of the viewport. The formula for conversion is:
pc = vh * (viewport height * 1 / 100 / 16)
For example, to convert 2vh to picas, assuming the viewport height is 1080px:
2vh * (1080px * 1 / 100 / 16) = 1.35pc
