page_mar function

Page margins object

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.

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).
