      The base unit in Prawn is the PDF Point. One PDF Point is equal to 1/72
      of an inch.

      There is no need to waste time converting this measure. Prawn provides
      helpers for converting from other measurements to PDF Points.

      Just <code>require "prawn/measurement_extensions"</code> and it will mix
      some helpers onto <code>Numeric</code> for converting common measurement
      units to PDF Points.
