Basics
require "typographic-unit"
1.cm # => #<1cm>
1.cm - 1.mm # => #<0.9cm>
1.cm == 10.mm # => true
1.in >> :cm # => #<2.54cm>
2.54.cm >> :in # => #<1.0in>
1.in - 1.cm # => #<0.606299212598425in>
(1.in - 1.cm) >> :cm # => #<1.54cm>Convert
1.pt >> :mm # => #<0.351459803514598mm>
7227.pt >> :cm # => #<254.0cm>
1.in >> :bp # => #<72.0bp>
1.pt >> :sp # => #<65536.0sp>
1157.pt >> :pt # => #<1238.0pt>
1.cc >> :dd # => #<12.0dd>
10.q >> :mm # => #<2.5mm>
1.jis_pt >> :mm # => #<0.3514mm>Calculate
1.cm + 1.mm # => #<1.1cm>
1.cm + 1.in # => #<3.54cm>
1.pt - 1.bp # => #<-0.00131797426317971mm>
100.ps_pt - 100.jis_pt >> :mm # => #<0.137777777777779mm>
1.cm * 10 # => #<10cm>Step
list = []
1.cm.step(3.cm, 0.5.cm) do |i|
list << i
end
list # => [1.cm, 1.5.cm, 2.cm, 2.5.cm, 3.cm]License
