Changing Layout margins

Thu, 11/12/2015 - 08:13 am

Is there any way to change a layout's margins programmatically?

This seems to be a hidden setting:
- if I use File -> Page Setup and then adjust the margin, all my graphs are adjusted (shown by the dotted rectangle).
- if I save a macro of that Layout, it reproduces with the correct margin
- I don't see any number which controls the dotted rectangle. Am I missing something?

The point of changing the margin programmatically is that there is no other way of adjusting a tiled layout so that the graphs are not stretched in silly directions.

Yes. Use the PrintSettings operation.

(This is completely different in Igor7 where you use PageLayoutAction. See "Page Layout Pages" in the Page Layouts help file.)
