<p>do not have a custom width assigned to them will be displayed using the sheet's <a class="xref" href="C1.WPF.Excel.XLSheet.DefaultColumnWidth.html#C1_WPF_Excel_XLSheet_DefaultColumnWidth">DefaultColumnWidth</a>.</p>
<p>The <a class="xref" href="C1.WPF.Excel.XLSheet.DefaultColumnWidth.html#C1_WPF_Excel_XLSheet_DefaultColumnWidth">DefaultColumnWidth</a> property is expressed in twips (1/20th of a point),
rather than pixels. This allows sheets to maintain their aspect regardless of the resolution
of the display.</p>
<p>To convert twips into pixels, use the <a class="xref" href="C1.WPF.Excel.C1XLBook.TwipsToPixels.html#C1_WPF_Excel_C1XLBook_TwipsToPixels_System_Double_">TwipsToPixels(double)</a> method in
<a class="xref" href="C1.WPF.Excel.C1XLBook.html">C1XLBook</a>. To convert pixels into twips, use the <a class="xref" href="C1.WPF.Excel.C1XLBook.PixelsToTwips.html#C1_WPF_Excel_C1XLBook_PixelsToTwips_System_Double_">PixelsToTwips(double)</a> method.</p>
