Jiffy – A TikZ-based page-layout diagnostic tool for LaTeX
jiffy produces a graphical diagnostic of a LaTeX document’s page geometry. It displays the physical sheet, text block, header, footer baseline, margin-note column, TeX’s one-inch reference lines, and the principal horizontal and vertical layout dimensions. The package supports a miniature renderer and a true 1:1 full-page overlay. In two-sided mode, jiffy generates companion verso and recto diagrams followed by a consolidated data sheet containing measured values, off-page diagnostics, and document/typography information. Display strings are provided for English, Vietnamese, Spanish, German, French, and Dutch.
