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