# Tioga::Page_Frame_Bounds

This section describes the coordinate systems used by tioga for page layout.

The "output page" is defined in "output coordinates" having units equal to 1/720 of an inch. This unit is 1/10 of a "big point" that is the basic size used in PostScript and PDF. By making the unit this size, we can write output coordinates to the PDF file as integers, getting a significant size reduction in the file without giving up noticable accuracy. The (0, 0) point of the output coordinate system is at the lower-left hand corner of the output page. The x axis increases horizontally, and the y axis increases vertically. The dimensions of the page are given by the attributes page_width and page_height. The attributes page_right and page_top are aliases for these. The attributes page_left and page_bottom are always zero. The default page size is 5 inches square, but you can set the size to anything you like using the set_device_pagesize routine.

While the output coordinates have a fixed physical size, all the other coordinate systems are relative rather than absolute. At the next level comes "page coordinates" that are defined relative to the output page with (0, 0) in page coordinates at the lower left corner of the output page and (1, 1) at the upper right. Page coordinates are used to define the location of the current "frame". The current frame location is held in the attributes frame_left, frame_right, frame_top, and frame_bottom, all in page coordinates. In addition, the attribute frame_width is defined to be frame_right - frame_left, and frame_height is frame_top - frame_bottom. The defaults are (0.2, 0.2) for the lower left corner of the frame and (0.8, 0.8) for the upper right. You can change these by calling the routine set_frame_sides.

The "frame coordinates" are defined with (0, 0) at the lower left corner of the frame and (1, 1) at the upper right. Subframes are sized and located using frame coordinates. The routine set_subframe does this job. In addition, subframes are used to give a desired aspect ratio. The routine set_aspect_ratio_relative_to_frame does this in terms of frame coordinates -- in other words, it creates a subframe having the requested ratio of width to height relative to the frame. In some cases that will be what you want, but it is more common to want to specify the width to height ratio relative to the output page, i.e., in absolute rather than relative terms. This is provided by the routine set_physical_aspect_ratio (with set_aspect_ratio as an alias).

When doing a plot, you want yet another coordinate system, one that matches the data. This is called the "figure coordinate system" and is set by the "bounds" attributes that give the locations in figure coordinates of the edges of the frame. These attributes are called bounds_right, bounds_left, bounds_top, and bounds_bottom. Note that you can "reverse" the x axis, for example, by making bounds_right smaller than bounds_left. To help with the bookkeeping for this, the attribute bounds_xmin holds the minimum of bounds_left and bounds_right, while bounds_ymin has the minimum of bounds_top and bounds_bottom. Finally, bounds_width holds the absolute value of bounds_right - bounds_left and bounds_height has abs(bounds_top - bounds_bottom). The default bounds are 0 for left and bottom and 1 for right and top, making figure coordinates identical to frame coordinates. The bounds can be changed by calling the set_bounds routine.

column_margins(dict) click to toggle source

Returns a dictionary with entries for 'left_margin' and 'right_margin' suitable for use with set_subframe. The margins are determined by the column specifications in the argument dict. The leftmost column is number 1 and the number of columns equals the column number for the rightmost column. The entries 'left_margin' and 'right_margin' determine the space outside the columns, and 'column_margin' is the space between columns, all given as fractions of the frame width. The space between the outer margins is divided to make room for 'num_columns' of equally wide columns. The returned margins bracket the requested 'column', or the requested range of columns from 'first_column' to 'last_column', inclusive. See also row_margins.

Dictionary Entries

    'left_margin'       => a_float      # default is 0
    'right_margin'      => a_float      # default is 0
    'column_margin'     => a_float      # default is 0
    'column'            => an_integer
    'first_column'      => an_integer   # default is 1
    'last_column'       => an_integer   # default is 'first_column'
    'num_columns'       => an_integer   # default is 'last_column'

set_bounds(dict=nil) click to toggle source

Sets the bounds according to the entries in the dictionary argument (called by show_plot).

The values of the entries are the figure coordinates for the edges of the frame. The following attributes are changed: bounds_left, bounds_right, bounds_bottom, bounds_top, xaxis_reversed, bounds_xmin, bounds_xmax, bounds_width, yaxis_reversed, bounds_ymin, bounds_ymax, bounds_height, default_text_height_dx, and default_text_height_dy.

Dictionary Entries

    'bounds_left' => a_float     # required
    'bounds_right' => a_float    # required
    'bounds_top' => a_float      # required
    'bounds_bottom' => a_float   # required
    'left_boundary'              # alias for 'bounds_left'
    'right_boundary'             # alias for 'bounds_right'
    'top_boundary'               # alias for 'bounds_top'
    'bottom_boundary'            # alias for 'bounds_bottom'

The following forms are also supported for calls to set_bounds:

    set_bounds('boundaries' => [ left, right, top, bottom ])
    set_bounds([ left, right, top, bottom ])

    # File lib/Tioga/Page_Frame_Bounds.rb, line 360
    def set_bounds(dict=nil)
    end

set_device_pagesize(width, height) # measured in output page coordinates (1/720 inch) click to toggle source

The page coordinates go from 0.0 to 1.0 with (0,0) at the lower left and (1,1) at the upper right. This command sets the physical size of this rectangle in the output coordinate

    # File lib/Tioga/Page_Frame_Bounds.rb, line 59
    def set_device_pagesize(width, height)
    end

set_frame_sides(left, right, top, bottom) # sizes in page coords [0..1] click to toggle source

This command sets frame_left, frame_right, frame_top, and frame_bottom to the given values.

    # File lib/Tioga/Page_Frame_Bounds.rb, line 109
    def set_frame_sides(left, right, top, bottom)
    end

set_subframe(dict=nil) click to toggle source

Adjusts frame margins according to the entries in the dictionary argument. Note that this does not automatically adjust the clipping rectangle to the new frame. If you want the clipping changed, call clip_to_frame after calling set_subframe.

Dictionary Entries

    'left_margin'      => a_float     # optional
    'right_margin'     => a_float     # optional
    'top_margin'       => a_float     # optional
    'bottom_margin'    => a_float     # optional
    'left'                            # alias for 'left_margin'
    'right'                           # alias for 'right_margin'
    'top'                             # alias for 'top_margin'
    'bottom'                          # alias for 'bottom_margin'

The following forms are also supported for calls to set_subframe:

    set_subframe('margins' => [ left, right, top, bottom ])
    set_subframe([ left, right, top, bottom ])

    # File lib/Tioga/Page_Frame_Bounds.rb, line 261
    def set_subframe(dict=nil)
    end

tex_preamble click to toggle source
tex_preamble = a_string

This string will be used as the "preamble" for the TeX file. The default does "usepackage" commands for "color" and "geometry". You may want to use some other packages as well. Here's an example of how to do it which adds the 'marvosym' package by inserting the following line into the 'initialize' routine.

    t.tex_preamble = t.tex_preamble + "\n\t\\usepackage{marvosym}\n"

    # File lib/Tioga/Page_Frame_Bounds.rb, line 562
    def tex_preamble
    end
