Does BIRT report designer explicitly set the units whenever it set the value for a report elements' size property?

 

Can others develop a custom report designer that does not set the unit?  In such a usage, is report level "unit" property useful? 

 

thanks

There is a bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174259, General settings for "Units" is ignored.
Since the Designer will decide the default units for each kind of element and it takes higher priority, the one user setting on the report looks ignored.
Now propose to remove the ‘unit’ property from ReportDesign in ROM, and corresponding API, to avoid confusion.
