7.4

lpp
Integer value containing the number of lines per page in the current data page. In database emulation, this value can also be
used in place of the subreccount() function to determine how many records a record set contains.
mediacolor
String value containing the color set in the Media color box of the Page dialog box for the current document page, or, if no
value is set in that box, the color set in the Media color box in the Document dialog box for the document. The Media color box
appears when you select Media selection in the Selection type box. Recall that the Media color box specifies the color of paper.
mediatype
String value containing the type set in the Media type box of the Page dialog box for the current document page, or, if no value
is set in that box, the type set in the Media type box in the Document dialog box for the document. The Media type box appears
when you select Media selection in the Selection type box. Recall that the Media type box specifies the type of paper (plain,
coated, etc.).
mediaweight
Integer value containing the weight set in the Media weight box of the Page dialog box for the current document page, or, if no
value is set in that box, the weight set in the Media weight box in the Document dialog box for the document. The Media weight
box appears when you select Media selection in the Selection type box. Recall that the Media weight box specifies the weight
of paper, in grams per square meter.
metadatapage
Integer value containing the page number of the current metadata page. This corresponds to the filtered, sorted and
sequenced metadata.
minfeature
Measure value containing the width of a single pixel at the current zoom level. Precise to 1/65536 inch. This is the minimum
size you can use in PlanetPress Talk code. If you use a smaller value (for example as an argument in a command), Plan-
etPress Talk automatically replaces that value with the value of minfeature.
orientation
Integer value containing the orientation of the current document page (0=portrait, 1=landscape, 2=Rotated portrait, 3=Rot-
ated landscape).
overflowcount
Integer variable storing the number of times that a data page overflowed and that a new document page was added to accom-
modate the overflowing data. Initially set to 0, is incremented by 1 every time the page overflows.
overflowing
Boolean variable set to False by default. When the current data page contains more lines than can be printed by the current
object, or technically speaking when the object’s condition to exit and overflow has been met, this variable is set to True. It is
set back to False with every new overflowing page, the logic being that the current overflowing page will be the last, unless if
the condition to exit and overflow is met yet again.
lastoverflowrepetition
Integer variable storing the number of the last iteration value when the condition to exit and overflow has been met.
pageheight
Measure value containing the physical page height, in inches, of the current page in the document.
