PX and REM
In web development, PX (Pixel) and REM (Root Em) are units used to specify spacing, font sizes, and other length measurements in CSS. Here is a brief explanation of both units:
PX (Pixel)
- Definition: A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or display.
- Usage: Specifying in pixels (px) is absolute, meaning the size is fixed and independent of other factors.
- Example:
font-size: 16px;
sets the font size to 16 pixels. - Advantages: Easy to use and predictable, as they have a fixed size.
- Disadvantages: Can appear differently on various devices and screen resolutions and is less flexible when adapting to different screen sizes.
REM (Root Em)
- Definition: A REM unit is based on the font size of the root element (
<html>
). - Usage: Specifying in REM is relative to the font size of the root element, meaning changes to the root element's font size affect the size of all elements specified in REM.
- Example: If the font size of the root element (
<html>
) is 16px, then1rem
equals 16px.font-size: 2rem;
would be 32px in this case. - Advantages: Allows for consistent and flexible design, as changes to the root element's size automatically apply to all values specified in REM.
- Disadvantages: Can be initially more complex to understand and use, especially when many nested elements are involved.
Comparison and Recommendation
- Responsive Design: REM units are often better suited for responsive design as they can be easily scaled by adjusting the root font size.
- Consistency: REM can lead to a more consistent user experience, especially on different screen sizes and resolutions.
Example
Here is a simple example to illustrate the difference:
html {
font-size: 16px; /* Sets the base font size */
}
body {
font-size: 1rem; /* 1rem equals 16px */
}
h1 {
font-size: 2rem; /* 2rem equals 32px */
}
p {
font-size: 16px; /* Fixed font size of 16px */
}
