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), PlanetPress 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=Rotated landscape).
overflowcount — Integer variable storing the number of times that a data page overflowed and that a new
document page was added to accommodate 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.
pagename — 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 document 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 current physical position on the page.
currentiteration (variable)
Variable storing the number of times that a line was repeated within an object or group. Initially set to 0
in every object, it is incremented by 1 with every line repeat. It can also be used to track repetitions within
a group of objects.
