Board size is given as a width and a height. For rectangular boards
this can be the real board size, but more commonly it is used to simply
determine the on-screen drawing area and the final board dimensions are
-specified using the outline layer. If the board is not rectangular, the
-contour must be specified on the outline layer and the board size must be

large enough that the outline fits in it.
