| Summary | 0017027: scripter: document that newDocument()'s size must be in the unit specified | ||||
| Description | https://gitlab.com/scribus/scribus/-/blame/master/scribus/plugins/scriptplugin/cmddoc.h?ref_type=heads#L22 says """ size = A tuple (width, height) describing the size of the document. You can\n\ use predefined constants named PAPER_<paper_type> e.g. PAPER_A4 etc.\n\, """" but, at least if you specify the unit as MM (which is probably the most common choice, with the inches), you will need PAPER_A4_MM. the documentation should specify that... or -- but it might be too late -- the size should be defined in pt... ... or there should be a function that allows to use PAPER_A4 and pass the pt value to newDocument(). ... i've just spent half an hour trying to understand why my guides hat a way too big value... | ||||

It does say "PAPER_* constants are expressed in points. If your document\n\ is not in points, make sure to account for this." But I have added some extra text. |

i rather thought about a notice about it in the new_document command: use predefined constants named PAPER_<paper_type>_<unit> e.g. PAPER_A4, PAPER_A4_MM etc.\n\ |
