I try to understand the actual page layout - but like to have it in mm units. I use layouts but get the sizes in pt. There is a command \printinunitsof{mm} but I do not understand how to use it. In my example code, it does not have an effect. Where does it belong?
\documentclass[msmallroyalvopaper
]{memoir}
\usepackage{layouts}
\begin{document}
\printinunitsof{mm}
\begin{figure}
\currentpage
\oddpagelayouttrue
\pagedesign
\caption{Odd page layout for this document} \label{fig:ptrs}
\end{figure}
\include{intro}
\end{document}
ptis hardcoded in the definition of\pagedesign. – egreg Jun 11 '18 at 21:52\prntlen{\headsep}to have these lengths printed in mm, or use this macro but obviously as an add, without modifying the\pagedesignoutput. – Fran Jun 11 '18 at 23:17\printinunitsofwould require extensive rewriting. – egreg Jun 12 '18 at 08:26pgfpackage, I tried withpaperwidth \prntlen{\the\paperwidth}\\in the definition from https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/54694/page-geometry-discrepancies but get completely unreasonable outputpaperwidth .86299pt0.35146mmfor a 444pt. What am I not understanding? – user855443 Jun 12 '18 at 20:18\prntlen{\paperwidth}, not\prntlen{\the\paperwidth}and with\printinunitsof{mm}before – Fran Jun 12 '18 at 22:30pt. hence my question. there'sFrench,American,Metricand theDTPdefinition. which one is hardcoded in LaTeX? – naphaneal Jun 13 '18 at 19:56
