78 """ PyX lengths
80 PyX lengths are composed of five components (t=true, u=user, v=visual,
81 w=width, and x=TeX) which can be scaled separately (except for the true
82 component, which is always unscaled). Lengths can be constructed in units
83 of "pt", "mm", "cm", "m" and "inch". When no unit is given, a module
84 default is used, which can be changed with the help of the module level function
85 set().
