Description

The $v:unit-scale map contains a set of measurement units and their absolute length in terms of pixels (as computed with $pixels-per-inch).

Recognized units at the time of this writing are shown in Figure 1, “Recognized units of measure”.

Unit	Size
`px`	`1.0`
`in`	`$pixels-per-inch`
`m`	`$pixels-per-inch div 2.54 * 100.0`
`cm`	`$pixels-per-inch div 2.54`
`mm`	`$pixels-per-inch div 25.4`
`pt`	`$pixels-per-inch div 72.0`
`pc`	`$pixels-per-inch div 6.0`
`em`	`$pixels-per-inch div 6.0`
`barleycorn`	`$pixels-per-inch div 3.0`
