Specifying Measurements

Some tags include the units parameter. Unless otherwise indicated, units is an optional parameter that defaults to IN (inches). Enrichment recognizes the following units values:

• IN (Inches)
• MM (Millimeters)
• CM (Centimeters)
• POINTS (Points)
• PELS (Pixels)

Measurements for which you set units to IN, MM, and CM can contain up to three decimal places. You must specify measurements for POINTS or PELS as integers, except for PostScript where the measurement may contain a decimal value.

If you specify the measurement in anything other than pels, Enrichment converts the measurement to pels based on the value in the <DENSITY> tag.

Regardless of the units value, Enrichment processing messages indicate most measurements in pels.

• In AFP environments, 240 pels typically equals one inch
• In DJDE environments, 300 pels typically equals one inch
• In PCL environments, 300 pels typically equals one inch
• In PDF environments, 72 pels typically equals one inch
• In PostScript environments, 300 units typically equals one inch
