<div class="markdown level1 summary"><p>By default, the column width uses character count in workbook. <br>
Therefore, this option is introduced to allow users to decide whether to use pixels as the column width unit in workbook, <br>
in order to achieve the API behaviors (e.g. auto-fit column) and results (e.g. PDF and image rendering) to be closer to SpreadJS.</p>
