Document Structure
Scribus pages are arranged in a vast scratch space, where 1 unit == 1/72 inch. Positive x is to the right, and positive y is downward. The positions, width and height in the elements are in scratch space coordinates with the exception of POCOOR and COCOOR coordinates, which are in the rotated and translated space of a PAGEOBJECT.
