% simplemargins.sty % % by Jonathan Kamens (jik@GZA.COM) % March 15, 1993 % % This is something that non-hacker-type \LaTeX users have needed for % a long time. It's just really stupid to have to explain how all of % the page dimensions work, and how to use \setlength and \addtolength % to change them, evey time someone who doesn't really care about it % wants to change their margins. This file gives them the ability to % do that easily. % % \setleftmargin{dimen} sets the left margin to that width % \setrightmargin{dimen} sets the right margin to that width % \settopmargin{dimen} sets the top margin to that width % \setbottommargin{dimen} sets the bottommargin to that width % \setallmargins{dimen} sets all four margins to that width % % \setpagewidth{dimen} sets the page width to that width % \setpageheight{dimen} sets the page height to that width % % The page is assumed to be 8.5 x 11 when this file is initially % loaded. If this is not the case, then use % % \setlength{\smpagewidth}{dimen} % \setlength{\smpageheight}{dimen} % % after loading simplemargins to set the actual page width and height, % before using any of the other simplemargins command (*including* % \setpagewidth or \setpageheight, which depend on the previous values % for \smpagewidth and \smpageheight). \typeout{Simplemargins margin control commands <15 Mar 93>.} \newlength{\smpagewidth} \newlength{\smpageheight} \setlength{\smpagewidth}{8.5in} \setlength{\smpageheight}{11in} \newcommand{\setpagewidth}[1]{ \addtolength{\smpagewidth}{-#1} \addtolength{\textwidth}{-\smpagewidth} \setlength{\smpagewidth}{#1} } \newcommand{\setpageheight}[1]{ \addtolength{\smpageheight}{-#1} \addtolength{\textheight}{-\smpageheight} \setlength{\smpageheight}{#1} } \newcommand{\setleftmargin}[1]{ \addtolength{\textwidth}{\oddsidemargin} \addtolength{\textwidth}{1in} \addtolength{\textwidth}{-#1} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-1in} \addtolength{\oddsidemargin}{#1} \setlength{\evensidemargin}{\oddsidemargin} } \newcommand{\setrightmargin}[1]{ \setlength{\textwidth}{\smpagewidth} \addtolength{\textwidth}{-\oddsidemargin} \addtolength{\textwidth}{-1in} \addtolength{\textwidth}{-#1} } \newcommand{\settopmargin}[1]{ \addtolength{\textheight}{\topmargin} \addtolength{\textheight}{1in} \addtolength{\textheight}{\headheight} \addtolength{\textheight}{\headsep} \addtolength{\textheight}{-#1} \setlength{\topmargin}{-1in} \addtolength{\topmargin}{-\headheight} \addtolength{\topmargin}{-\headsep} \addtolength{\topmargin}{#1} } \newcommand{\setbottommargin}[1]{ \setlength{\textheight}{\smpageheight} \addtolength{\textheight}{-\topmargin} \addtolength{\textheight}{-1in} \addtolength{\textheight}{-\footskip} \addtolength{\textheight}{-#1} } \newcommand{\setallmargins}[1]{ \settopmargin{#1} \setbottommargin{#1} \setleftmargin{#1} \setrightmargin{#1} }
