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