Description
Return added width/height and halve each addition for average opposing borders.
Layout calculations relate dimensions, offsets, and normalized positions in a drawing or display. A numeric coordinate depends on its origin and scale, while a size allowance must use the same length unit as the object.
Return added width/height and halve each addition for average opposing borders.
When to use this tool
Use Artwork Framed Unframed Dimension Delta when you need a stated layout component from supplied dimensions or a normalized position.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter framedWidth, framedHeight, artworkWidth, artworkHeight. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read widthAdded, heightAdded, averageSideBorder, averageTopBottomBorder. Use the output convention below.
Require framed dimensions at least the nonnegative artwork dimensions. Return added width/height and halve each addition for average opposing borders.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| framedWidth | Framed Width | Required. Finite number. |
| framedHeight | Framed Height | Required. Finite number. |
| artworkWidth | Artwork Width | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| artworkHeight | Artwork Height | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| widthAdded | Width Added | Required. Finite number. |
| heightAdded | Height Added | Required. Finite number. |
| averageSideBorder | Average Side Border | Required. Finite number. |
| averageTopBottomBorder | Average Top Bottom Border | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The averages do not assert equal individual borders; units must match and frame geometry, conservation needs, and actual measurements are not verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check the assembled layout at its final scale and include installation or production allowances separately.
