measure_unit property

OdtSaveOptions.measure_unit property

Allows to specify units of measure to apply to document content. The default value is OdtSaveMeasureUnit.CENTIMETERS

@property
def measure_unit(self) -> aspose.words.saving.OdtSaveMeasureUnit:
    ...

@measure_unit.setter
def measure_unit(self, value: aspose.words.saving.OdtSaveMeasureUnit):
    ...

Remarks

Open Office uses centimeters when specifying lengths, widths and other measurable formatting and content properties in documents whereas MS Office uses inches.

Examples

Shows how to make a saved document conform to an older ODT schema.

doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Rendering.docx')
save_options = aw.saving.OdtSaveOptions()
save_options.measure_unit = aw.saving.OdtSaveMeasureUnit.CENTIMETERS
save_options.is_strict_schema11 = export_to_odt_11_specs
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'OdtSaveOptions.Odt11Schema.odt', save_options=save_options)
doc = aw.Document(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'OdtSaveOptions.Odt11Schema.odt')
self.assertEqual(aw.MeasurementUnits.CENTIMETERS, doc.layout_options.revision_options.measurement_unit)

Shows how to use different measurement units to define style parameters of a saved ODT document.

doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Rendering.docx')
# When we export the document to .odt, we can use an OdtSaveOptions object to modify how we save the document.
# We can set the "MeasureUnit" property to "OdtSaveMeasureUnit.Centimeters"
# to define content such as style parameters using the metric system, which Open Office uses.
# We can set the "MeasureUnit" property to "OdtSaveMeasureUnit.Inches"
# to define content such as style parameters using the imperial system, which Microsoft Word uses.
save_options = aw.saving.OdtSaveOptions()
save_options.measure_unit = odt_save_measure_unit
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'OdtSaveOptions.Odt11Schema.odt', save_options=save_options)
