Prepress   Preparation,   Continued Line  length The length of a line is measured in picas. Picas are also used to measure the width and length of pages and columns. There are 12 points to a pica and approximately 6 picas to an inch. Do not use points and picas interchangeably as they do not precisely coincide as a unit of measure. Use the point system or a line gauge to specify instructions to a typesetter. Some typesetters prefer specifications in picas only. Figure 1-16 shows a line gauge or printer's rule. Figure  1-16.  —A printer's rule or line gauge; A. The pica and inch scale, B. The agate and inch scale. Continued  on  next  page 1-21
