+ *  Items use coordinates.
+ *  A coordinate is defined relative to a page corner
+ *  A coordinate is the X pos, the Y pos, and the corner which is the coordinate origin
+ *  the default is the bottom right corner
+ *  example: (start 10 0 ltcorner) or (start 20 10)
+ *  The direction depends on the corner: a positive coordinate define a point
+ *  from the corner origin, to the opposite corner.
+ *
+ *  Items are defined by a name, coordinates in mm and some attributes,
+ *  and can be repeated.
+ *  for instance (repeat 2) (incrx 2) (incry 2) repeat the item 2 times,
+ *  and coordinates are incremented by 2 on X direction, and 2 on Y direction
+ *  Comments are allowed. they are inside (), and start by the keyword comment
+ *  example:
+ *  (comment rect around the title block)
+ *
+ *  Lines and rect are defined by 2 coordinates start and end, and attributes.
+ *  Attributes are linewidth and repeat parameters.
+ *  example:
+ *  (line (start 50 2 ltcorner) (end 50 0 ltcorner) (repeat 30) (incrx 50) )
+ *  (rect (comment rect around the title block) (linewidth 0.15) (start 110 34) (end 2 2) )
+ *
+ *  Texts are defined by the text (between quotes), the position, and attributes
+ *  example
+ *  "(tbtext \"1\" (pos 25 1 lbcorner) (font (size 1.3 1.3)) (repeat 100) (incrx 50) )"
+ *  the text can be rotated by (rotation <value>) with value = rot angle in degrees
+ *  (font (size 1.3 1.3) bold italic) defines a specific size,
+ *    with bold and italic options
+ *  (justify <justif keyword>) controls the text justification (the default is left)
+ *  justif keyword is center, left, right, top and bottom
+ *  (justify center top) is a text centered on X axis and top aligned on vertical axis
+ *  The text size can be constrained:
+ *  (maxlen <value>) and (maxheight <value>) force the actual text x and/or y size to be
+ *  reduced to limit the text height to the maxheight value,
+ *  and the full text x size to the maxlen value.
+ *  If the actual text size is smaller than limits, its size is not modified.
