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