4. How to Determine Document Size
The document size is determined by comparing the hard clip area for each paper size,
based on the ACA obtained in the scaling mode, paper margins, and area
determination mode.
îš„If the Scaling Mode is a Paper Size
1) Obtain the coordinate area to be active from the HP-GL data entered, in accord
with the area determination mode.
2) As a margin, add the larger value of either the font size specified in the page, the
default size or one half the specified pen width, to the ACA obtained in
1
.
3) Subtract the value set in paper margins from the ACA obtained in
2
.
4) The minimum size that includes the ACA obtained in
3
will be the document size.
îš„If the Scaling Mode is the ACA
1) Obtain the coordinate area to be active from the HP-GL data entered, in accord
with the area determination mode.
2) As a margin, add the larger value of either the font size specified in the page, the
default size or one half the specified pen width, to the ACA obtained in
1
.
3) Subtract the value set in paper margins from the ACA obtained in
2
.
4) The ACA obtained in the process up to
3
will be the document size.
îš„Ex.
If the following data is entered when the scaling mode = paper size, origin position =
Auto, paper margin is 10mm, area determination mode = IP:
All pen width settings are 0.1 mm
The following data does not contain a character size specification command and the
physical size of the area specified by IP/IW is A3.
IN;
IP-8399,-5938, 8399, 5938;
IW-8399,-5938, 8399, 5938;
PU;
SP1;
:
:
SP0;
1) As the area determination mode is IP, the ACA is specified as the area -8399,-
5938,8399,5938 by an IP command.
YYY
2) In the example above, as there are no font size specification commands and all the
pen widths are 0.1 mm, add the height/2 of the default font size for A3 size paper
(75 plotter units) to the ACA obtained in
1
.
The ACA obtained in
2
is -8474,-6013,8474,6013.
3) The value set in paper margins (10 mm = 400 plotter units) is subtracted from the
ACA obtained in
2
.
The ACA obtained in
3
is -8074,-5613,80740,5613.
4) As the ACA obtained in
3
exceeds the A4 size and is A3 size, the document size is
determined to be A3.
