printpagename
String value containing the name of the page that is actually printing. This allows conditional processing to take place within a
PPTalk object according to the name of the page being executed. Note that the value always corresponds to the name of the
actual page page being printed, even if the call comes from a virtual or overlay page (in other words, the name of the page on
which the overlay is layed out).
pagewidth
Measure value containing the physical page width, in inches, of the current page in the document.
printpage
Integer value containing the current page number in the document.
x,y
Measure value containing the current horizontal (x) or vertical (y) position of the drawing pen on the current page. This value
is relative to the top left corner of the current page - whose coordinates are (0,0) - and may not necessarily be equal to the cur-
rent physical position on the page.
Physical (system object)
The physical object contains system variables that reflect the current state of the document. These system variables are
read-only and therefore cannot be changed using the set command. You can access each system variable using the same syn-
tax.
Syntax
&physical.x measure value
&physical.y measure value
Variables
x,y
Measure value containing the current horizontal (x) or vertical (y) position of the drawing pen, relative to the upper left corner
of the physical page, whose coordinates are (0,0). This system object can be used to assess the amount of space left on a
page.
&system (system object)
The &system system object contains system variables related to the Raster Image Processor (RIP) the document is using to
execute, and document version. These system variables are read-only.
Syntax
l &system.product string value
l &system.version string value
l &system.formversion integer value
Properties
product
String value containing the name of the RIP the document is using to execute. For example,
