Ignore
|
Ignores Width and Height limits. The printed picture's size
is the size requested by the application. The only restrictions are that its width cannot be greater than:
(right margin - left margin) + 1
characters per inch or mm
Height is usually restricted to the length of the paper.
|
Bounded
|
The printed picture's size is bounded by the Width and Height
limits. Width and Height are interpreted in tenths of inches by default or millimeters if Use Metric System? Has
been chosen in the Settings menu. For example, if the printed picture can be up 4.0 x 5.0 inches, set Width to
40, Height to 50, and select Bounded.
|
Absolute
|
The Width and Height limits are interpreted as absolute
values. For example, if the printed picture should be exactly 4.0 x 5.0 inches, set Width to 40, Height to 50,
and select Absolute. This distorts the picture as needed to fit. To use this option fraction scaling should also
be selected. Choosing Use Metric System? In the Settings menu lets you specify the value in millimeters rather
than tenths of inches.
You can, however, use Absolute to get a normal aspect ratio printout that is a specific width or a specific height,
but not both. Set either the Width or Height limit to the desired dimension and set the other limit to zero. For
example, if Width is set to 40 and Height to 0, then the printed picture is 4.0 inches wide and as tall as necessary
for the correct aspect ration. If both dimensions are set to zero, the printed picture is as wide as possible and
as tall as necessary to retain the picture's proportion.
|
Pixels
|
The Width and Height limits are interpreted as pixels. If
one of these values is set to zero, the dame rules as for the Absolute option apply. The printout is the width
or height specified and as tall or as wide as necessary to retain proportion.
|
Multiply
|
The Width and Height limits are used to multiply the source
picture's width and height. For example, if you specified a Width of 2 and a Height 0f 4, the printed picture is
two times the source picture's width in pixels and four times the source picture's height.
|
Width/Height
|
Lets you specify the dimensions of your printout. The value
is interpreted as increments of tenths of an inch or millimeters, unless Pixels or Multiply is the selected Type.
To enter a value, select the text gadget, delete the current value, type the correct value, and press Return.
