fromInches

Converts a number from inches to the current default unit.

No matter what units the current file uses, this function will always return a number equivalent to the input in inches.

For example, if the current file uses inches, fromInches(1) will return 1. If the current file uses millimeters, fromInches(1) will return 25.4.

Caution: This function is only intended to be used when you absolutely MUST have different units in your code than the file settings. Otherwise, it is a bad pattern to use this function.

We merely provide these functions for convenience and readability, as fromInches(10) is more readable that your intent is "I want 10 inches" than 10 * 25.4, if the file settings are in millimeters.
