Typographic point (pt). A typographic point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.3528 mm), used for font sizes.
Rod (rd). A rod (also called a pole or perch) is 16.5 feet (5.0292 m), an old land-measurement unit.
There are 7.01459 × 10⁻⁵ rods in one typographic point.
Multiply the number of typographic points by 7.01459 × 10⁻⁵. For example, 10 typographic points equal 0.000701459 rods.
One rod equals 14,256 typographic points.
0.0701459 rods. Other common values: 100 typographic points = 0.00701459 rods and 10,000 typographic points = 0.701459 rods.
