Paper size related tools

papersize 📏 Paper size related tools

This module provides tools to manipulate paper sizes, that is:

• a dictionary of several named standard names (e.g. A4, letter) , with their respective sizes (width and height);
• functions to convert sizes from one unit (e.g. inches) to another (e.g. centimeters);
• functions to manipulate paper orientation (portrait or landscape);
• tools to parse paper sizes, so that you do not have to worry about the format of paper sizes provided by your user, it being "a4" or "21cm x 29.7cm".
