iText PDF library - What units are the return values for PdfPtable.getTotalHeight() or calculateHeights() in? Points?

The method in question

I imagine it's points since the library uses that for some other values, but if anyone has used this and knows for sure it would be nice.

Points. 1/72 of an inch. This is the standard PDF unit of measurement...

Unless a relatively new PDF feature is used to change that for the current document. Unless you're working with architectural drawings, or geospatial data I wouldn't worry about it.
