GetLayoutPrintSize()

Summary

Gets the size of a layout printer's imageable area.

Syntax

area = GetLayoutPrintSize(string layout_name)

Argument Contents
layout_name The name of the layout window

Returns

A coordinate whose longitude indicates the horizontal extent of the imageable area, and whose latitude indicates the vertical extent of the imageable area.

Notes

  • The horizontal and vertical measurements are in hundredths of points (1/7200ths of an inch).

  • The imageable area is that part of the output medium upon which the printer can actually create an image; not necessarily centered on the output page. User-defined print margins do not affect the return value of GetLayoutPrintSize().
