purposes, an element is the smallest discrete unit that a viewer must be
able to discern and comprehend
◉ Percent Element Height (%EH). Answer: The height of an element in
relation to the overall Image Height (IH). The BDM factor represents the
ratio of element height to screen height expressed as a percentage (e.g.,
1% represents 1 unit relative to 100 units screen height). DISCAS
provides a range of percentages; users of the Standard should vary this
