LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command
Specifying page orientation
and virtual page size
The LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command tells the system the
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:
n virtual page width
m virtual page height
Example:
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.
