Hi Nicola,

ppToMMThousandths is an internal function used to ensure the highest
precision when making report calculations. There are many methods similar
to this one located in the ppUtils.pas file but they are all meant to be
used internally by ReportBuilder and therefore are not documented.

The ppToMMThousandths function is a simple utility used to convert a
measurement in ReportUnits (i.e. utScreenPixels, utInches, utMillimeters,
utPrinterPixels, utMMThousandths) to the common ReportBuilder measurement
unit microns (or thousandths of millimeters). For instance, if you needed
to convert 2.3 inches to microns, you would call...

uses
ppUtils,
ppPrintr;

lMMLength := ppToMMThousandths(2.3, utInches, pprtHorizontal, ppPrinter);
