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 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)
