8. 5 Print and fold the organizer See the following Printing and Folding section Printing and Folding You don t have to have a color printer for this but it does make a world of difference in how the organizer looks and how easy it is to use Better paper designed for color printouts gives a really professional look to the organizer Colored paper or paper with pre printed color background designs or marbling will really help a black and white printout for this You may find that your printer will not print to the 1 4 border of the organizer if no content is lost this border loss is not important The instructions here are valid for either letter size paper or A4 paper and following this is advice for cases where your printer margins are large enough to chop off parts of the corner pages You will want to use the following printer settings when your printer can print far enough to the edge to read content in all pages e Landscape orientation e Two sided without the flip up option You can use a single sided printer by printing one side then re inserting the paper to print on the other side such that pages F and 1 are opposite pages 6 and 7 when you re done e No page scaling or fitting to printer margins e Nocentering or auto rotation You may find that your printer does not align the middle vertical fold line so that the first fold is right along that line There is an Adjust Printer Margins option under the Options menu

You have ultimate freedom in defining absolute sheet coordinates as provided in Appendix D but if you want to make a node that will rotate horizontally on both a right side up and upside down middle or corner page in other words a truly portable script for a horizontal layout you must use the BEGINDRAWING HORIZONTAL which the application will interpret depending on the orientation and location of the page Not all TikZ draw constructs may work correctly under BEGINDRAWING HORIZONTAL but certainly text nodes and line segments will A text node that you want to end up horizontal on a page must be created as draw PX PY node text width fullheight inner sep Opt anchor north west lt Contents of node gt A TikZ node is a content block such as a textbox Node contents are contained within squiggly brackets All draw commands are terminated by a semicolon An anchor is point on the node that is placed on the given x y coordinates Possible anchor positions are the 8 points of a compass north north east east south east south south west west north west Drawing commands designed for vertical layouts can specify whatever anchor they desire for example north south east and west are convenient for centering a node regardless of the amount of text entered but for a script to display correctly in a horizontal layout using PX PY relative coordinates you must use anchor north west and use PX PY coo

27. tex file in the BuildArea directory to see more examples of these It turns out that if you declare a counter or length more than once LaTeX will fail the build with a message that it already exists This can be a problem if the same page script is used in more than one page One solution is to declare them in the Preamble section under the Custom LaTeX Code menu function However instructions for adding these lines in that place would have to accompany any page script A much better method is to use the following commands when defining a counter or length in a page script providecounter instead of addcounter providelength instead of addlength These command will only declare the variable if it hasn t been declared previously If it has been declared a simple warning is listed in the build output and can be ignored These provide commands were used in the Music Staff Sheet page script described earlier Creating Custom Commands If you have a sequence of LaTeX commands to perform a number of times you can create your own custom command to perform it and you can also pass variable values into the command when you call it in your script These are analogous to subroutines in general programming For example there are scripts in the Page Script Gallery that plot points along scales for calculating mileage and tax tip percentages Here are snippets of the script for a mileage table in which a command calcfuelxy 1s called to c
