Specifying borders
Use the BORDER subcommand to put a border around each page.
Use the BORDERPEN command to set the border style.
Use the BORDEROFFSET command to ensure that diagram or report will not touch the border.
Syntax
SETTING { BORDER [ YES | NO ] }
To place a border on each page, use BORDER YES.
The default value is NO.
Example
To place a border on each page user the following syntax:
SETTING { BORDER YES}
To specify the border style use the following syntax:
SETTING { BORDERPEN pen-style }
The available border styles correspond to the pen styles available for stylizing diagrams (Pen command in the Format | Symbol Format menu). The first five border styles indicate different line thickness, or “weights.” These lines are called PEN1, PEN2, PEN3, PEN4, and PEN5, with the higher numbers representing heavier weights. The next four border styles are combinations of dots and dashes: PENDASH, PENDOT, PENDASHDOT, and PENDASHDASHDOT. The default BORDERPEN is PEN1.
Example
To specify a dotted border style:
SETTING { BORDERPEN PENDOT }
To ensure that your diagram or report will not touch the border, use this syntax to setup a margin:
SETTING { BORDEROFFSET offset-numeric-inches }
The offset-numeric-inches is in inches up to two decimal places.
The BORDEROFFSET will decrease the page size available for a diagram by the specified amount.
Example
To place a 1/4" space between the margin and the border line use the following syntax:
BORDEROFFSET -0.25
The default BORDEROFFSET value is -1/8" (- 0.13"). The system sets the BORDEROFFSET value to default when you set BORDER YES and you do not specify a different value with BORDEROFFSET subcommand.
The value is negative, which causes the border line to be drawn within the page margins.
