grid
The grid
CSS media feature can be used to test whether the output device uses a grid-based screen.
Most modern computers and smartphones have bitmap-based screens. Examples of grid-based devices include text-only terminals and basic phones with only one fixed font.
Syntax
The grid
feature is specified as a <mq-boolean>
value (0
or 1
) representing whether or not the output device is grid-based.
