/**
 * SECTION:clutter-units
 * @short_description: A logical distance unit.
 *
 * Clutter units are logical units with granularity greater than that of the
 * device units; they are used by #ClutterActorBox and the _units() family of
 * ClutterActor functions. To convert between clutter units and device units,
 * use #CLUTTER_UNITS_FROM_DEVICE and #CLUTTER_UNITS_TO_DEVICE macros.
 *
 * Note: It is expected that as of version 0.6 all dimensions in the public
 * Clutter API will be given in clutter units. In order to ease the transition,
 * two extra macros have been provided, #CLUTTER_UNITS_TMP_TO_DEVICE and
 * #CLUTTER_UNITS_TMP_FROM_DEVICE. In version 0.4 these are identity macros,
 * but when the API transition happens will map to #CLUTTER_UNITS_TO_DEVICE and
 * #CLUTTER_UNITS_FROM_DEVICE respectively. You can use these in newly written
 * code as place holders.
 * 
 * Since: 0.4
