Page Window

Definition

If you use the alphanumeric Form Painter, proceed as follows:

When defining windows and pages, you do not yet determine the position and spacing of the texts to be output. To do this, you combine a window and a form page to create a so-called page window. A page window is the definition of a rectangular output area on the output medium (for example, DIN A4 paper page), determined by the left upper edge and the hight and width of the area.

When defining a page window, you determine:

• which windows appear on a certain page,

• what size the windows have (width, height),

• their position (distance between the left upper window edge and the left and upper page margins).

In this example, the user positions the individual windows (previously defined by a user) on the page FIRST by specifying the corresponding coordinates. The user can choose between different measurement units the system offers (LN = Lines, CH = Character, and so on).
