#### Column Properties Excel internally stores column widths in a nebulous "Max Digit Width" form. The Max Digit Width is the width of the largest digit when rendered. The internal width must be an integer multiple of the the width divided by 256. ECMA-376 describes a formula for converting between pixels and the internal width. Given the constraints, it is possible to determine the MDW without actually inspecting the font! The parsers guess the pixel width by converting from width to pixels and back, repeating for all possible MDW and selecting the MDW that minimizes the error. XLML actually stores the pixel width, so the guess works in the opposite direction. The `!cols` array in each worksheet, if present, is a collection of `ColInfo` objects which have the following properties: ```typescript type ColInfo = { MDW?:number; // Excel's "Max Digit Width" unit, always integral width:number; // width in Excel's "Max Digit Width", width*256 is integral wpx?:number; // width in screen pixels wch?:number; // intermediate character calculation hidden:?boolean; // if true, the column is hidden }; ``` Even though all of the information is made available, writers are expected to follow the priority order: 1) use `width` field if available 2) use `wpx` pixel width if available 3) use `wch` character count if available #### Row Properties Excel internally stores row heights in points. The default resolution is 72 DPI or 96 PPI, so the pixel and point size should agree. For different resolutions they may not agree, so the library separates the concepts. The `!rows` array in each worksheet, if present, is a collection of `RowInfo` objects which have the following properties: ```typescript type RowInfo = { hpx?:number; // height in screen pixels hpt?:number; // height in points hidden:?boolean; // if true, the row is hidden }; ``` Even though all of the information is made available, writers are expected to follow the priority order: 1) use `hpx` pixel height if available 2) use `hpt` point height if available
