Programmer's Reference > Sending data to DPlot from another application

Macro commands may be used either in macros or by sending the commands to DPlot via dynamic data exchange (DDE). Some commands are valid only in macros (noted by Macros Only). Commands sent to DPlot via DDE must be enclosed by square brackets [ ]. Macro commands should not include the brackets.

Command parameters shown in the descriptions below are placeholders for the actual values. Command parameters are either numeric values, equations that evaluate to numbers, or character strings. Character string parameters are always bound by double quotation marks. Equations must be preceded by an equals sign (=).

The pipe symbol (|) in the command syntax indicates that a parameter is optional, and should not be included in your macro unless otherwise noted.

All indices into arrays are 1-based, e.g. Curve1=1 refers to the first curve in a plot.

A 0x prefix for numbers in the descriptions below indicates hexadecimal notation; e.g. 0x0010 = 16.

JR/Viewer indicates that the command is supported by DPlot Jr or DPlot Viewer.
JR/Viewer indicates that the command is NOT supported by DPlot Jr or DPlot Viewer.

[FilePageSetup(top,bottom,left,right,orientation,papersize,width,height)]

JR Viewer

Sets the printer margins (in inches) for the currently selected document, and optionally sets the page orientation and paper size. All parameters are optional and must be separated by commas. Omitted parameters are represented by 2 successive commas with no intervening spaces. If orientation is included, subsequent printouts will default to Landscape orientation for orientation=2, or Portrait orientation otherwise. papersize must be included (and set to 0) if you want to specify the width and height, in inches. Valid codes for papersize are:

0	User-defined size	22	Envelope #12 4.75 x 11 in
1	Letter 8.5 x 11 in	23	Envelope #14 5 x 11.5 in

18	Note 8.5 x 11 in	38	US Std Fanfold 14.875 x 11 in
19	Envelope #9 3.875 x 8.875 in	40	German Std Fanfold 8.5 x 12 in
20	Envelope #10 4.125 x 9.5 in	41	German Legal Fanfold 8.5 x 13 in
21	Envelope #11 4.5 x 10.375 in

Please note: Many printer drivers will not accept all of the paper size codes above, and most will not accept custom width and height values unless they happen to match dimensions supported by that printer. If a paper size is rejected by a selected printer, the default paper size for that printer will be selected. Virtual printer drivers like Acrobat Distiller will generally accept any custom paper size.
