The --width parameter can now take units e.g. "-w 3u", "-w 40mm", "-w 3in". If units are not specified, each label base has a default kind (e.g. pred- labels default to matching Xu bins, but the plain label will always default to mm). For label bases that have standardised sizes, specifying unit-widths will work the same as before, including adjustment/tolerances, but specifying custom length dimensions will make the label match exactly. e.g. for Cullenect labels, "-w 2" or "-w 2u" will make a label 78mm wide, but "-w 80mm" will make a label exactly 80mm wide.

Yeah - this is awesome - just makes in that much more flexible for non-standard use-cases - but still easy to use for the standard ones. |

This enables all label bases to take units in the width parameter, e.g.
--width 3,--width 4u,--width 30mm,--width 4in. Labels which have defined standard sizes will accept plain or -u units, but specifying exact width for any label will mean the label is generated at exactly that width.The default unit, if you do not specify, is a property of each base e.g.
predorcullenectwill by default assume-u, butplainbases will assume millimeters (and won't accept u-units).Added upon request from @Marus - does this do what you wanted?
