Tips
 All fields in the Position group box and Position dialog box accept only integer
and floating point values.
 A negative value entered highlights the text field in red. Placing the cursor over
this field informs you that the value must be greater than or equal to 0 unit (cm
or inch – location dependent).
 For logos and plots, the width-height aspect ratio is maintained, so that if you
change one the other gets adjusted automatically as per the aspect ratio.
While
inserting logos the original aspect ratio of the image is maintained.
