  64 ;; Parameters:
  65 ;;
  66 ;; BPIXMAP ORIENT LLX LLY URX URY XDPI YDPI [LEFT BOTTOM TOP RIGHT]
  67 ;;
  68 ;; Scanf format: "%d %d %d %d %d %d %f %f %d %d %d %d"
  69 ;;
  70 ;; Explanation of parameters:
  71 ;;
  72 ;; BPIXMAP: pixmap id of the backing pixmap for the window.  If no
  73 ;; pixmap is to be used, this parameter should be zero.  This
  74 ;; parameter must be zero when drawing on a pixmap.
  75 ;;
  76 ;; ORIENT: orientation of the page.  The number represents clockwise
  77 ;; rotation of the paper in degrees.  Permitted values are 0, 90, 180,
  78 ;; 270.
  79 ;;
  80 ;; LLX, LLY, URX, URY: Bounding box of the drawable.  The bounding box
  81 ;; is specified in PostScript points in default user coordinates.
  82 ;;
  83 ;; XDPI, YDPI: Resolution of window.  (This can be derived from the
  84 ;; other parameters, but not without roundoff error.  These values are
  85 ;; included to avoid this error.)
  86 ;;
  87 ;; LEFT, BOTTOM, TOP, RIGHT: (optional) Margins around the window.
  88 ;; The margins extend the imageable area beyond the boundaries of the
  89 ;; window.  This is primarily used for popup zoom windows.  I have
  90 ;; encountered several instances of PostScript programs that position
  91 ;; themselves with respect to the imageable area.  The margins are
  92 ;; specified in PostScript points.  If omitted, the margins are
  93 ;; assumed to be 0.
