Folks,
This is a comment of mine from !929:
======================================================================
The change to enable pairs [in `#(set-default-paper-size)`] is almost
trivial:
```
--- a/scm/paper.scm
+++ b/scm/paper.scm

scaled-values)))
(define (internal-set-paper-size module name landscape?)
- (let* ((entry (lookup-paper-name module name landscape?))
+ (let* ((entry (if (pair? name)
+ name
+ (lookup-paper-name module name landscape?)))
(is-paper? (module-defined? module 'is-paper)))
(cond
((not is-paper?)
```
Using it with
```
#(set-default-paper-size (cons 100 50)))
```
works like a charm. However, code like
```
#(set-default-paper-size (cons (* 100 mm) (* 50 mm)))
```
doesn't work; I get the error message
```
error: GUILE signaled an error for the expression beginning here
#
(set-default-paper-size (cons (* 100 mm) (* 50 mm)))
Unbound variable: mm
```
What must I do to make 'mm' and similar dimension scale values
available at the top level?
======================================================================
I guess not everyone is reading the MR tracker stuff, so I ask here
directly. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Werner
