+
+<p>An output device&rsquo;s basic unit <code class="code">u</code> is not necessarily its smallest
+addressable length; <code class="code">u</code> can be smaller to avoid problems with
+integer roundoff. The minimum distances that a device can work with in
+the horizontal and vertical directions are termed its <em class="dfn">motion
+quanta</em>. Measurements are rounded to applicable motion quanta.
+Half-quantum fractions round toward zero.
