On devices where an coordinate-distance of 1.0 does map to an single
pixel this does make only limited sense as the space or line width might
be rounded to 0.


But for high resolution devices as printers or vector-graphics as PDF
you can define coordinates to 72DPI or 300DPI or if you prefer to work
metric even to millimeters.

On such an setting an spacing of 0.25 does make an significant difference.
