As we know that in TikZ, if unit is not mentioned in the coordinate in TikZ, it takes cm by default.



When I extract the coordinates, I was expecting the unit as cm. But TikZ shows the unit in the coordinate as pt.



How does TikZ determine the unit of measure in a coordinate if no unit is specified.
