Ah. OK. I did wonder. The thbook docs imply that you only need to set two of those variables, the other one will be calculated. I'l try again. # size <width> <height> <units> . set map size in the atlas mode. If not specified, it #will be calculated from page-setup and overlap. In map mode applies iff page-grid #is on (M, A; default: 18 22.2 cm) #overlap <value> <units> # overlap <value> <units> . set overlap size in paper units in the atlas mode or map margin in the map mode (M, A; default: 1 cm) # page-setup <dimensions> <units> # page-setup <dimensions> <units> . set page dimensions in this order: paper-width, #paper-height, page-width, page-height, left-margin and top-margin. If not specified, it #will be computed from size and overlap (A; default: 21 29.7 20 28.7 0.5 0.5 cm (A4)) Wookey -- Aleph One Ltd, Bottisham, CAMBRIDGE, CB5 9BA, UK Tel +44 (0) 1223 811679 work: http://www.aleph1.co.uk/ play: http://wookware.org/
