Xerox 96MX manual LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command, Virtual page size, Landscape

FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE

LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command

Specifying page orientation	The LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command tells the system the
and virtual page size	orientation of the form.

LANDSCAPE A LANDSCAPE form is oriented horizontally (like most paintings or photographs of landscape scenes).

PORTRAIT A PORTRAIT form is oriented vertically (like most portraits of people).

The LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command also specifies the virtual page size and origin of the form.

The format of the LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command is as follows:

LANDSCAPE	PAPER [SIZE] [IS] n DOTS	[WIDE][BY] m DOTS	[HIGH] ;
PORTRAIT	XDOTS	XDOTS
	INCH[ES]	INCH[ES]
	CM	CM
	CENTIMETERS	CENTIMETERS

n virtual page width

m virtual page height

LANDSCAPE;

Page width and height values must be positive numbers and may contain two decimal places for all units except dots. Centimeters may be expressed as CM. The default is inches.

If neither the LANDSCAPE nor the PORTRAIT command is used, landscape orientation is assumed.

If no PAGE SIZE parameter is specified, virtual page size defaults to the paper size specified in the PAPER command; otherwise it defaults to the sysgen-defined paper size. The virtual page origin is therefore located at the upper left corner of the physical page.

If a PAGE SIZE parameter is specified, a virtual page of that size is centered relative to the paper. The virtual page origin is at the upper left corner of the centered virtual page.

Only one LANDSCAPE or the PORTRAIT command is allowed in a form description. If specified, the command must precede the GRID, BOX, LINE, LOGO, and TEXT commands, described later in this chapter.
