DeviceIndependent also is the full name of the DVI fileformat DVI fileformat . A computer program program or computer filefile is deviceindependent when its function is universal on different types of device. For the World Wide Web , this means writing simple common denominator Hypertext Markup Language HTML and Cascading Style Sheets CSS so that most Web user agent s on most devices can render it acceptably. For computer program s , this generally means that it is written in a metalanguage that can be read by any system platform platform . A program that was not originally written for a certain environment can be porting ported , i.e. the code can be adapted for a certain platform and compiler compiled for the platform it will be functioning in. Unfortunately, this can lead to confusion if the user interface still resembles the one for the platform it was initially designed for. For computer file s , device independence means that software or, theoretically, computer hardware hardware is in place that can interpret the file and allow the user to view or manipulate it. Good examples of cross platform or deviceindependentfileformat s are HTML and Portable Document Format PDF , GIF and JPEG .

A Deviceindependent pixel also density independent pixel is a point in a co ordinate system held by a computer and represents an abstraction of a pixel for use by an application that an underlying system then converts to physical pixels. A typical use is to allow mobile device software to scale the display of information and user interaction to different screen sizes. The abstraction allows an application to work in pixels as a measurement, while the underlying graphics system converts the abstract pixel measurements of the application into real pixel measurements appropriate to the particular device. For example, on the Android operating system Android operating system a deviceindependent pixel is equivalent to one physical pixel on a 160 Dots per inch dpi screen ref http developer.android.com guide practices screens support.html dips pels ref , while the Windows Presentation Foundation specifies one deviceindependent pixel as equivalent to 1 96th of an inch ref http blogs.msdn.com b text archive 2009 12 11 wpf text measurement units.aspx ref .
