Units

Format: <number><unit>
In words: “Move over this much”

Unit commands tell GuideGuide to move over the specified distance. All unit types are supported.

| 10px | 1in | 2cm |

You can combine different unit commands for specific needs. For example, this would create a space that is 50% from the height of the available space, plus 20 pixels.

| 50% 20px |
