papersize 1.0.1

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 (with and height);

• functions to convert sizes between units;

• 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.
