Description
Return miniature, text and unallocated page-area fractions.
Artwork measurements distinguish physical dimensions, projected regions and scale conventions. Length, area and volume change with different powers of a scale, while frame overlaps and crop geometry depend on which boundaries were measured. A numerical fit does not identify an artwork or establish its historical interpretation.
Return miniature, text and unallocated page-area fractions.
When to use this tool
Use Manuscript Miniature Text Area Share when checking the stated artwork dimension, crop, frame or scale relation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter miniatureArea, textArea, pageArea. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read miniatureShare, textShare, unallocatedShare. Use the output convention below.
Return miniature, text and unallocated page-area fractions. Require positive page area and nonnegative disjoint allocated areas whose sum <= page; divide each allocation and remainder by pageArea.1

| textArea | Text Area | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| pageArea | Page Area | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| miniatureShare | Miniature Share | Required. Finite number. |
| textShare | Text Share | Required. Finite number. |
| unallocatedShare | Unallocated Share | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Overlap must already be excluded; actual manuscript layout, content and art-historical meaning are not inferred.
- 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
Inspect the original object, measured boundaries and appropriate complete geometry or catalog record for physical or historical conclusions.
