Golden Rectange or Golden Ratio are artictic terms for an "ideal" proportions of a rectangle. In mathematic it is demonstated by the ratios of 2 consequent numbers in the series (0),1,1,2,3,5,8 ... 1134903170, 1836311903, 2971215073 ... where the next number is calculated by addition of the 2 numbers preceding it. As the numbers get bigger, the ratio gets more precise and closer to
1.618033989 which is half of 1+ √5
Much more and more precise information can be found in wikipedias or by searchng the web. The only ambition of this page is to provide a quick, practical implemetation of the phenomenon in web design. In order to avoid ambiguity, here is the description of what this page does:
It asks you to enter the two measurements of a rectangle
It labels the longer side width and the shorter side height
It allows the input in inches, centimeters, or pixels and converts the input to the remaining two units, using
1 inch = 2.54 cm = 72 px
It calculates the ideal length of the other side of the rectangle for both of the desired measures
It shows a result table in all units,
It draws the original and suggested rectangles,
Please select units and enter numbers for width and heigth
