I would like to "dynamically generate" values for the following 3 hard-coded
properties based on a rule, and the current default paper size, but I dont
know scheme:
paper-height = 11.0\in
paper-width = 8.5\in
line-width = 7.7\in
So basically how would I code the above hard coded values to be math
expressions based on the following rule:
I always want my left and right margins to be .4 inches.
So the formula for line with would be (default paper width - .8)
The formula for paper-height and paper-width would be whatever the default
paper currently is, but I dont know how to set it from those values.
I'm trying to make my \paper block code more intelligent so that it
automatically resets the line-width and paper-width/height based on whatever
I set #set-default-paper-size to. top/bottom margins are ok to be
hard-coded as well as most of the other \paper properties whenever I change
form sizes.
If I can get line-width to set itself based on an expression, I can more
easily change form sizes from my job stream using the -d option for paper
size and not have to re-edit the ly file. But I dont know scheme.
thanks for any help on how to set these properties based on the current
default paper size and my .4/in margins rule.
Rick
