Actual dimensions of the most common paper sizes are stored and need not be remembered. Two sided printing is supported, meaning that if on odd pages the left margin is, say, 30mm and the right margin is 20mm, it will be vice versa on even pages. This gives equal margins on the outer and equal margins on the inner edge of the paper, as expected e.g. for a book. vmargin is designed to be reasonably restricted in both memory usage and processing time, so that the common task of setting margins is not too distracting. If you are looking for something fancier try the geometry package. The basic procedure of using vmargin is to first set a paper size, and then to set the margins. The margin setting functions depend on the paper size. Setting the paper size and margins are two independent operations, i.e. setting the paper size does not directly affect the margins but will affect the next margin setting command. The size of the paper can be set with \setpapersize{} can be A0, A1, ..., A9, B0, B1, ..., B9, C0, ..., C9, USletter, USlegal, and USexecutive. The metric paper sizes are not stored but calculated. \setpapersize by default sets the orientation to portrait. Landscape format is selected by using the optional argument \setpapersize[landscape]{} which swaps the width and height dimensions of the paper. \setpapersize[portrait]{} is allowed but is the default. If you have a size which is not pre-defined use \setpapersize{custom}{}{} For and insert the respective dimensions of your paper. \setpapersize stores the actual dimensions of the paper in the length variables \PaperWidth \PaperHeight which can be used further, if desired. \ifLandscape yields true if a landscape format is selected. Do not write to \PaperWidth, \PaperHeight, or call \Landscapetrue or \Landscapefalse, it will not work!! The margins can be set with \setmargins{leftmargin}{topmargin}{textwidth}{textheight}% {headheight}{headsep}{footheight}{footskip} or with \setmarginsrb{leftmargin}{topmargin}{rightmargin}{bottommargin}% {headheight}{headsep}{footheight}{footskip} In the latter case \textwidth and \textheight are calculated using the width and height of the selected paper. The first four parameters of the above two commands are used to set \oddsidemargin, \evensidemargin, \textwidth, \topmargin, and \textheight. \setmargnohf, \setmargnohfrb Provide a page with no header and footer. They work the same as \setmargins, \setmarginsrb except that they only need the first 4 parameters. The last 4 parameters are set to 0pt. These 2 commands set the pagestyle to empty (\pagestyle{empty}) as there is no space for headers or footers. \setmarg, \setmargrb are the same as \setmargnohf, \setmargnohfrb except that the last 4 parameters to \setmargins, \setmarginsrb are unchanged. Example: A4 paper, left margin 30mm, top, right, and bottom margin 20mm each, no headers or footers: \setpapersize{A4} \setmarginsrb{30mm}{20mm}{20mm}{20mm}{0pt}{0mm}{0pt}{0mm} \pagestyle{empty} The same settings would result with: \setpapersize{A4} \setmargnohfrb{30mm}{20mm}{20mm}{20mm} For the default settings please see the part after "DEFAULTS:" (last part before \endinput). The default top and left margins of TeX are +1in. \setmargXXX call \margin@offset which initialises \hoffset, \voffset to -1in and \oddsidemargin, \evensidemargin, \topmargin to 0in. \setmargXXX then add the given dimensions to \topmargin, \oddsidemargin, \evensidemargin. In some cases it might be desired to use \XXXmargin instead of \Xoffset for compensation. This can be achieved by telling \margin@offset to initialise \Xoffset to 0in and \XXXmargin to -1in. This is done by % \shiftmargins. % If \margin@offset is already defined at the time vmargin is loaded it is NOT redefined! Therefore if \margin@offset is defined before vmargin is loaded the above mentioned compensation can be replaced by a different mechanism. In any case \setmargXXX call \margin@offset and then expect that \XXXmargin are set to useful values. \Xoffset are not touched by \setmargXXX. \margin@offset should be defined in a separate file which is included BEFORE vmargin, i.e. appears in the list of document-substyles of the \documentstyle command before vmargin. % Any better way of doing this? (grumble) Example: \documentstyle[...,margins,vmargin,...]{...} if \margin@offset is defined in a file called margins.sty. LaTeX2e: \documentclass[...]{...} \usepackage{...,margins,vmargin,...} LaTeX2e ------- This package now uses some of the new LaTeX2e features for package programming. It will still work with LaTeX 2.09 (in which case the new features are not used, resp. are inaccessible). LaTeX2e (unless in compatibility mode) does not know \footheight any more. vmargin does not set this variable if it does not exist, and sets it if it does. As \footheight was not used by LaTeX 2.09 all this has little significance. LaTeX2e now has the dimensions \paperwidth, \paperheight which hold the size of the paper. \PaperWidth, \PaperHeight are copied into \paperwidth, \paperheight if the latter exist. This makes vmargin work correctly with anything that expects \paperwidth, \paperheight to be set properly. The names \PaperWidth, \PaperHeight had been chosen in the first place to avoid clashes with style files that also use these names (namely pageframe.sty). The following package options are available under LaTeX2e: shiftmargins same as \shiftmargins portrait landscape A4, etc. same as using \setpapersize[...]{...} Note: \setpapersize always sets the orientation to portrait unless landscape is given. Using \setpapersize after \usepackage causes package option landscape to be ignored. nohf do not make space for header and footer lines; this also sets the pagestyle to empty All unknown options are treated as a paper size, if necessary generating an error that the requested paper size is not defined. Inclusion in TeX formats ------------------------ This file may be loaded in initex before dumping the format, by typing \makeatletter \input vmargin.sty \makeatother Note: this produces a non-standard format. Hints for using pageframe.sty ----------------------------- vmargin.sty and pageframe.sty can be used together if the following points are considered: vmargin uses \hoffset and \voffset and writes negative values into it, pageframe expects them to be zero to give a 1in space on the left and the top where it prints additional information. Initially, set both to 0mm (in the pre-amble of your text) and adjust them later on. pageframe needs to know the trimmed height of the paper (= the height of the "page frame"). Unless the trimmed(!) size of the paper is equivalent to one of the standard paper sizes (unlikely...) the size should be specified with \setpapersize{custom}{}{} The correct height of the trimmed page can then be given to pageframe using \paperheight{\PaperHeight} and the margins of the final product (inside the page frame) can be specified using \setmargXXX. Warning: if \setmargXXXrb is used the 3rd parameter (right margin) is ignored. Instead, the dimension of the right margin has to be assigned to \evensidemargin. This is because pageframe.sty re-defines the meaning of \evensidemargin to be the right margin of your text, on all pages. Remember: all these assignments and macro calls have to be in the pre-amble of the document. Bugs: ----- I have not tested this with older versions of LaTeX2e because I don't have any. If there are any problems pleease do let me know and I'll do something about it. To do: ------ * The way the metric paper sizes are stored takes up a lot of space. A metric size could be computed by \setpapersize.
