The Page Editor

There is only one page object - page_1. This is displayed on the canvas.

The resources of the page object are grouped into three bundles - core, margins and background.

See the page object for a full description of the page's resources

The Core Bundle

Size This resource contains the size of the page. The resource can only be edited if the format has been set to "custom".
Orientation The page can be either "portrait" or "landscape".
Display Mode By default the page is displayed in "relative" mode - the page is scaled so that it is as large as possible within the available space. It is also possible to choose "absolute" mode and the page will be displayed actual size with scrollbars appearing if required.
