Issue description
I'd like to make a case for the default units in Synfig to be Pixels (px) instead of Points, which I believe is the current default selection. Reasons for this

*Screen resolutions e.g. 1080p, 720p, PAL etc typically all refer to pixels and not points or other measurments *Points, centimetres etc are reasurements used to measure physical materials. Since the output of Synfig will not typically be printed out using them makes little sense *Synfig can be used to do illustration (it has good vector drawing tools), but that does not appear to be its purpose
