Direct Known Subclasses:

CustomPaperSize, InternationalPaperSize, NorthAmericanPaperSize

public class PaperSize
extends Boxed

Representations of different sizes of paper used in printing operations.

Usage is straight forward:

 paper = PaperSize.A4;
 width = paper.getWidth(Unit.MM);
 height = paper.getHeight(Unit.MM);
 

The √2 relationships between the various ISO sizes are shown in the following diagram (the imperialist paper sizes are included for comparison):

Constants for the two common page sizes are here. If you need one of the more obscure cases, see subclasses InternationalPaperSize or NorthAmericanPaperSize.
