Dialog box “Properties of layout page”

This dialog box serves for viewing and changing properties of layout page.

Panes

Size

Serves for specifying sizes of layout page.

Input fields Width and Height permit the user to enter arbitrary size values (in centimeters).

The button Size as at printer allows making the page size equal to the size of the page of default system printer.

If the box Scale when resizing is checked, changing of sizes of layout page will cause proportional changing of all elements located on this page.

Margins

Four input fields allow the user to enter sizes of margins on all sides of the page. Parts of layout elements which are located on page margins are not output to a printing device.

Overlapping of pages at printing

The pane permits specifying sizes of the region of overlapping of pages which will be used if the layout does not fit into one printer page. When pushing the button Butt-jointed pages sizes of overlapping region are set equal to double width of non-printable area of printer page. It means that after non-printed borders of pages are cut, one can get from the remaining parts of pages exact display of the layout within the specified margins.

Step of snap grid

Serves for specifying the distance between grid points along the horizontal and vertical axes in the editing pane.

Grid points are displayed in the editing pane only if the distance between them exceeds some threshold on the screen.
