Units of length
This list shows the units of length that can be used in mrScriptMetadata when defining the Height, Width, Cell Height, or Cell Width style properties. The value of those properties must always be expressed as strings, for example, “12pt”, “2cm”, “50%”, and so on. If no units are specified, for example, “100”, then pixels (“px”) are assumed.
