[scribus] Equivilent to Pages Per Inch

[xemoth at gmx.com]

> When figuring book spine dimensions in the USA  we use the attribute of the

>  The page count is divided by the PPI, a small factor for the cover 
> thickness is added and the result is the spine width in inches.
>   
>  Printers here will either quote the PPI or at least provide a method to

>  In the metric world things are different of course.  What is the attribute

John, 

The script at https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Book_Spine_Calculator works with the latest revision of Scribus.

As I said in my previously "failed to send properly" emails, I am not a professional in this field, and the algorithm was developed from sources found via Google searches
