Perfect height to hang a painting
Raw
painting_height.md

For hanging pictures I really like to follow the midline style. In practice an imaginary line is drawn on the wall which is at 5/8 the height of the wall itself. Once we have this line in mind the paintings must be hung with 3/8 of their height above the median line.

h = (H*5 + q*3) / 8

where H is the height of the wall and q is the height of the painting itself.
