``Legal'' Paper Hard-copy Output

The graphics system supports the ``A'' series of paper formats, where the two dimensions are related by the square root of two. Other paper formats such as the ``Legal'' size often used in North America are not supported explicitly.

Since, by default the graphics are designed for A4 (portrait or landscape orientations), they will be too wide for the legal paper format. By using the keyboard "PAGE POSITION" command or the GUI OPTIONS menu "POSITION" command you can change the area of the size and hence the paper which is used to print the graphics. Thus, the whole of the graphics can be made to appear on the paper.
