Creating Markers for positioning and cutting

# Schneid-Passer-Marken.py von Albert Dietz, 27.05.05
# this script (my first Pyhton and Scribus-Script) generates markers for 
# positioning cmyk masks and cutting
# the markers will be set onto the existing document at 1cm spacing to the papersize
# that means that your A4-Layout should be 230x317mm
# Attention: disable "under color reduction"! otherwise you will not see the 
# cyan, magenta and yellow markers
# feel free to modify this script and please send comments to albert@jadietz.de
# thank you for reading this.
