<HR>
Valid distance specifications in magic.
<HR>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Distances are normally interpreted as <I>lambda</I> values. However,
this depends on the last use of the <B>snap</B> command; <B>snap
internal</B> changes the interpretation of units to the internal
grid, while <B>snap user</B> changes the interpretation of units to
the user grid. Distances may always be explicitly called out by
appending one of the following to the distance value (with no
intervening whitespace):
<DL>
<DT> <B>i</B>
<DD> internal units
<DT> <B>l</B>
<DD> lambda units
<DT> <B>um</B>
<DD> microns
<DT> <B>mm</B>
<DD> millimeters
<DT> <B>cu</B>
<DD> centimicrons
</DL>
In any case where the internal grid is finer than the declared
distance measure, fractional distances may be specified; e.g.,
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>box move e 1.25um</B>
