Syntax

HORIGIN=horizontal-offset <IN | CM | PT>

horizontal-offset <IN | CM | PT>
must be a nonnegative number and may be followed by a unit specification, either IN for inches (default), or CM for centimeters, or PT for points. If you do not specify HORIGIN, a default offset is searched for in this order:
  1. the left margin specification on an OPTIONS LEFTMARGIN setting

  2. HORIGIN setting in the device catalog.

Details

The display area is defined by the XMAX and YMAX device parameters. By default, the origin of the graphics output area is the lower-left corner of the display area; the graphics output is offset from the lower-left corner of the display area by the values of HORIGIN and VORIGIN. HORIGIN + HSIZE cannot exceed XMAX. See About the Graphics Output Area for details.
