Margin Size

The margin size allows you to set the size of the different regions of the plot. These values interact closely with the Borders.

Enable Margin Settings

You can disable all of the Margin Size settings and allow the Analysis Engine to use the default sizing methods by unchecking this check box.  To enable your custom setting, check this box.

Plot

The Plot is the region directly around the plot where the axes lie.

% of Figure

When you select this option, you should enter fractions between 0 and 1.0 that represent the percentage of the figure to use for the plot.  You must specify a percentage for all four sides.  The right and left values start with 0 at the left of the page. So to set the plot 25% in from the left and right of the Figure, you would enter 0.25 for the left and 0.75 for the right. The same applies to the Top and Bottom value except that 0 indicates the bottom.

Inches

For this option, you only need to specify the width and height of the plot in inches. Note that if you use this, the Figure  width and height must be set larger than the Plot width and height.

Figure

The Figure is the area around the plot and the Legend.

% of Page

When you select this option, you can specify the percentage of the page to be used by the figure.  You must specify a percentage for all four sides of the figure. The right and left values start with 0 at the left of the page. So to set the plot 25% in from the left and right of the Page, you would enter 0.25 for the left and 0.75 for the right. The same applies to the Top and Bottom value except that 0 indicates the bottom.

Inches

When you select this option, you can specify the figure width and height in inches. Note that you must set the Figure width and height to be larger than the plot width and height.

Margin

The Margin is the edge of the page.

% of Screen

When you select this option, you can enter the percentage of the page to use for the margin.  These values differ from the percentage values in the Figure and Plot sections.  These percentages all start from the edge of the page.  So, if you want an amount equal to 20 percent of the size of the paper to on each side, enter 0.2 in all of the fields.

Inches

When you select this option, enter the number of inches from the side that you would like the margin to appear.
