Page Size and Margins
=====================
These macros make it easy to set page margins for a chosen paper size.
Actual dimensions of the most common paper sizes are stored and need
not be remembered.
Two sided printing is supported, meaning that if on odd pages the left
margin is, say, 30mm and the right margin is 20mm, it will be vice
versa on even pages. This gives equal margins on the outer and equal
margins on the inner edge of the paper, as expected e.g. for a book.
vmargin is designed to be reasonably restricted in both memory usage
and processing time, so that the common task of setting margins is not
too distracting. If you are looking for something fancier try the
geometry package.
The basic procedure of using vmargin is to first set a paper size, and
then to set the margins. The margin setting functions depend on the
paper size. Setting the paper size and margins are two independent
operations, i.e. setting the paper size does not directly affect the
margins but will affect the next margin setting command.
The size of the paper can be set with
\setpapersize{<size>}
<size> can be A0, A1, ..., A9, B0, B1, ..., B9, C0, ..., C9, USletter,
USlegal, and USexecutive. The metric paper sizes are not stored but
calculated. \setpapersize by default sets the orientation to portrait.
Landscape format is selected by using the optional argument
\setpapersize[landscape]{<size>}
which swaps the width and height dimensions of the paper.
\setpapersize[portrait]{<size>} is allowed but is the default.
If you have a size which is not pre-defined use
\setpapersize{custom}{<width>}{<height>}
For <width> and <height> insert the respective dimensions of your
paper.
\setpapersize stores the actual dimensions of the paper in the length
variables
\PaperWidth
\PaperHeight
which can be used further, if desired.
\ifLandscape
yields true if a landscape format is selected. Do not write to
\PaperWidth, \PaperHeight, or call \Landscapetrue or \Landscapefalse,
it will not work!!
The margins can be set with
\setmargins{leftmargin}{topmargin}{textwidth}{textheight}%
{headheight}{headsep}{footheight}{footskip}
or with
\setmarginsrb{leftmargin}{topmargin}{rightmargin}{bottommargin}%
{headheight}{headsep}{footheight}{footskip}
In the latter case \textwidth and \textheight are calculated using the
width and height of the selected paper. The first four parameters of
the above two commands are used to set \oddsidemargin, \evensidemargin,
\textwidth, \topmargin, and \textheight.
\setmargnohf, \setmargnohfrb
Provide a page with no header and footer. They work the same as
\setmargins, \setmarginsrb except that they only need the first 4
parameters. The last 4 parameters are set to 0pt. These 2 commands set
the pagestyle to empty (\pagestyle{empty}) as there is no space for
headers or footers.
\setmarg, \setmargrb
are the same as \setmargnohf, \setmargnohfrb except that the last 4
parameters to \setmargins, \setmarginsrb are unchanged.
Example:
A4 paper, left margin 30mm, top, right, and bottom margin 20mm
each, no headers or footers:
\setpapersize{A4}
\setmarginsrb{30mm}{20mm}{20mm}{20mm}{0pt}{0mm}{0pt}{0mm}
\pagestyle{empty}
The same settings would result with:
\setpapersize{A4}
\setmargnohfrb{30mm}{20mm}{20mm}{20mm}
For the default settings please see the part after "DEFAULTS:" (last
part before \endinput).
The default top and left margins of TeX are +1in. \setmargXXX call
\margin@offset
which initialises \hoffset, \voffset to -1in and \oddsidemargin,
\evensidemargin, \topmargin to 0in. \setmargXXX then add the given
dimensions to \topmargin, \oddsidemargin, \evensidemargin. In some
cases it might be desired to use \XXXmargin instead of \Xoffset for
compensation. This can be achieved by telling \margin@offset to
initialise \Xoffset to 0in and \XXXmargin to -1in. This is done by
%
\shiftmargins.
%
If \margin@offset is already defined at the time vmargin is loaded it
is NOT redefined! Therefore if \margin@offset is defined before vmargin
is loaded the above mentioned compensation can be replaced by a
different mechanism. In any case \setmargXXX call \margin@offset and
then expect that \XXXmargin are set to useful values. \Xoffset are not
touched by \setmargXXX. \margin@offset should be defined in a separate
file which is included BEFORE vmargin, i.e. appears in the list of
document-substyles of the \documentstyle command before vmargin.
%
Any better way of doing this? (grumble)
Example: \documentstyle[...,margins,vmargin,...]{...}
if \margin@offset is defined in a file called margins.sty.
LaTeX2e: \documentclass[...]{...}
\usepackage{...,margins,vmargin,...}
LaTeX2e
-------
This package now uses some of the new LaTeX2e features for package
programming. It will still work with LaTeX 2.09 (in which case the new
features are not used, resp. are inaccessible).
LaTeX2e (unless in compatibility mode) does not know \footheight any
more. vmargin does not set this variable if it does not exist, and sets
it if it does. As \footheight was not used by LaTeX 2.09 all this has
little significance.
LaTeX2e now has the dimensions \paperwidth, \paperheight which hold the
size of the paper. \PaperWidth, \PaperHeight are copied into
\paperwidth, \paperheight if the latter exist. This makes vmargin work
correctly with anything that expects \paperwidth, \paperheight to be
set properly. The names \PaperWidth, \PaperHeight had been chosen in
the first place to avoid clashes with style files that also use these
names (namely pageframe.sty).
The following package options are available under LaTeX2e:
shiftmargins same as \shiftmargins
portrait
landscape
A4, etc. same as using \setpapersize[...]{...}
Note: \setpapersize always sets the orientation to
portrait unless landscape is given. Using \setpapersize
after \usepackage causes package option landscape to be
ignored.
nohf do not make space for header and footer lines; this also
sets the pagestyle to empty
All unknown options are treated as a paper size, if necessary
generating an error that the requested paper size is not defined.
Inclusion in TeX formats
------------------------
This file may be loaded in initex before dumping the format, by typing
\makeatletter
\input vmargin.sty
\makeatother
Note: this produces a non-standard format.
Hints for using pageframe.sty
-----------------------------
vmargin.sty and pageframe.sty can be used together if the following
points are considered:
vmargin uses \hoffset and \voffset and writes negative values into it,
pageframe expects them to be zero to give a 1in space on the left and
the top where it prints additional information. Initially, set both to
0mm (in the pre-amble of your text) and adjust them later on.
pageframe needs to know the trimmed height of the paper (= the height
of the "page frame"). Unless the trimmed(!) size of the paper is
equivalent to one of the standard paper sizes (unlikely...) the size
should be specified with
\setpapersize{custom}{<width>}{<height>}
The correct height of the trimmed page can then be given to pageframe
using
\paperheight{\PaperHeight}
and the margins of the final product (inside the page frame) can be
specified using \setmargXXX.
Warning: if \setmargXXXrb is used the 3rd parameter (right margin) is
ignored. Instead, the dimension of the right margin has to be assigned
to \evensidemargin. This is because pageframe.sty re-defines the meaning
of \evensidemargin to be the right margin of your text, on all pages.
Remember: all these assignments and macro calls have to be in the
pre-amble of the document.
Bugs:
-----
I have not tested this with older versions of LaTeX2e because I don't
have any. If there are any problems pleease do let me know and I'll do
something about it.
To do:
------
* The way the metric paper sizes are stored takes up a lot of space. A
metric size could be computed by \setpapersize.
SUMMARY:
========
new lengths:
\PaperWidth
\PaperHeight
new ifs:
\ifLandscape
new macros:
\setpapersize[<orientation>]{<size>},
\setpapersize[<orientation>]{custom}{<width>}{<height>}
<orientation> (optional) = landscape or portrait (default)
<size> = A4, B5, ...
<width>, <height> = actual dimensions of the paper
\setmargins{leftmargin}{topmargin}{textwidth}{textheight}%
{headheight}{headsep}{footheight}{footskip}
\setmarginsrb{leftmargin}{topmargin}{rightmargin}{bottommargin}%
{headheight}{headsep}{footheight}{footskip}
\setmargnohf{leftmargin}{topmargin}{textwidth}{textheight}
\setmargnohfrb{leftmargin}{topmargin}{rightmargin}{bottommargin}
\setmarg{leftmargin}{topmargin}{textwidth}{textheight}
\setmargrb{leftmargin}{topmargin}{rightmargin}{bottommargin}

\margin@offset
\shiftmargins
LaTeX2e package options:
shiftmargins
portrait
landscape
nohf
all other options are treated as paper sizes

HISTORY:
========
.
. Created out of Vpage.sty.
.
V1.7 21 May 1994 Changed file header.
V1.72 21 May 1994 Fixed bug in \setpapersize{custom}
V1.8 28 May 94 Commented \chk@dimen; reduced load on TeX's
parameter stack (changed \chk@dimen).
Put a conditional around references
to \footheight.
V1.9 22 Jun 94 Corrected spelling in comment.
V2.0 28 Jun 94 Added support for LaTeX2e \paperwidth,
\paperheight.
V2.1 20 Sep 94 \@defmetricpaper now defines \w, \h, \s locally.
Thanks to branderhorst@fgg.eur.nl!
V2.12 28 Mar 95 Fixed documentation for \setmargrb.
V2.13 26 Jun 96 Fixed comment for \setmarginsrb.
V2.2 31 May 99 Released under LPPL.
Changed references to Vmargin to vmargin.
LaTeX2e package options introduced.
