The margins for each page of a sectionThe function creates a representation of the dimensions of a page. The dimensions are defined by length, width and orientation. If the orientation is in landscape mode then the length becomes the width and the width becomes the length.
Usage
page_mar(
bottom = 1,
top = 1,
right = 1,
left = 1,
header = 0.5,
footer = 0.5,
gutter = 0.5
)
Arguments
- bottom, top
distance (in inches) between the bottom/top of the text margin and the bottom/top of the page. The text is placed at the greater of the value of this attribute and the extent of the header/footer text. A negative value indicates that the content should be measured from the bottom/topp of the page regardless of the footer/header, and so will overlap the footer/header. For example,
header=-0.5, bottom=1
means that the footer must start one inch from the bottom of the page and the main document text must start a half inch from the bottom of the page. In this case, the text and footer overlap since bottom is negative.- left, right
distance (in inches) from the left/right edge of the page to the left/right edge of the text.
- header
distance (in inches) from the top edge of the page to the top edge of the header.
- footer
distance (in inches) from the bottom edge of the page to the bottom edge of the footer.
- gutter
page gutter (in inches).
