/**
 * Class ResolutionSyntax is an abstract base class providing the common 
 * implementation of all attributes denoting a printer resolution. 
 * <P>
 * A resolution attribute's value consists of two items, the cross feed 
 * direction resolution and the feed direction resolution. A resolution 
 * attribute may be constructed by supplying the two values and indicating the 
 * units in which the values are measured. Methods are provided to return a 
 * resolution attribute's values, indicating the units in which the values are 
 * to be returned. The two most common resolution units are dots per inch (dpi) 
 * and dots per centimeter (dpcm), and exported constants {@link #DPI 
 * <CODE>DPI</CODE>} and {@link #DPCM <CODE>DPCM</CODE>} are provided for 
 * indicating those units. 
 * <P>
 * Once constructed, a resolution attribute's value is immutable. 
 * <P>
 * <B>Design</B>
 * <P>
 * A resolution attribute's cross feed direction resolution and feed direction 
 * resolution values are stored internally using units of dots per 100 inches 
 * (dphi). Storing the values in dphi rather than, say, metric units allows 
 * precise integer arithmetic conversions between dpi and dphi and between dpcm 
 * and dphi: 1 dpi = 100 dphi, 1 dpcm = 254 dphi. Thus, the values can be stored 
 * into and retrieved back from a resolution attribute in either units with no 
 * loss of precision. This would not be guaranteed if a floating point 
 * representation were used. However, roundoff error will in general occur if a 
 * resolution attribute's values are created in one units and retrieved in 
 * different units; for example, 600 dpi will be rounded to 236 dpcm, whereas 
 * the true value (to five figures) is 236.22 dpcm. 
 * <P>
 * Storing the values internally in common units of dphi lets two resolution 
 * attributes be compared without regard to the units in which they were 
 * created; for example, 300 dpcm will compare equal to 762 dpi, as they both 
 * are stored as 76200 dphi. In particular, a lookup service can 
 * match resolution attributes based on equality of their serialized 
 * representations regardless of the units in which they were created. Again, 
 * using integers for internal storage allows precise equality comparisons to be 
 * done, which would not be guaranteed if a floating point representation were 
 * used. 
 * <P>
 * The exported constant {@link #DPI <CODE>DPI</CODE>} is actually the 
 * conversion factor by which to multiply a value in dpi to get the value in 
 * dphi. Likewise, the exported constant {@link #DPCM <CODE>DPCM</CODE>} is the 
 * conversion factor by which to multiply a value in dpcm to get the value in 
 * dphi. A client can specify a resolution value in units other than dpi or dpcm 
 * by supplying its own conversion factor. However, since the internal units of 
 * dphi was chosen with supporting only the external units of dpi and dpcm in 
 * mind, there is no guarantee that the conversion factor for the client's units 
 * will be an exact integer. If the conversion factor isn't an exact integer, 
 * resolution values in the client's units won't be stored precisely. 
 * <P>
