Are pixels really the best way to encode position at this point?

- Garlef 6mo agoAgreed. The upside is that it does not leave the most important aspect open to interpretation. But it prevents this from being text-only at the point of creation: You'll most likely need some programmatic environment to create non-trivial diagrams. But then the question is: Why not just an SVG instead?
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 6mo agoI’m playing with 3d positions derived from higher dimensions, right now.
- tkzed49 6mo agoIt strikes me as odd that boxes are placed precisely using pixels, but the size of text is not specified, as far as I can tell. So you use real pixels to specify boxes, but still can't render a canvas exactly/consistently?
