There is no type conversion (coercion) on parameters passed in the
arglist. If you are using an arglist you are expected to pass the
argument in the form the callee want's it in. In this case, as a pixel value.

We considered having "source type" information in arglists, but decided
that it was too expensive, to complicated to explain, and not useful enough.
