The HqnLayout FrontVals and BackVals subdictionaries
This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP.
The FrontVals and BackVals subdictionary contains the following keys:
Left (HqnLayout config)
number (0, +ve)
Default: 0
The margin to the left of the left-most page on the selected side of the sheet. The margin(s) allowed on the sides where control strips and/or slug lines are drawn must be large enough to accommodate the strip and/or slug.
See notes in Gutters, margins and crop marks in HqnLayout.
Schemes: All.
Bottom (HqnLayout config)
nnumber (0, +ve)
Default: 0
The margin below the bottom page on the selected side of the sheet. See Left (above).
Schemes: All.
Right (HqnLayout config)
number (0, +ve)
Default: 0
The margin to the right of the right-most page on the selected side of the sheet. See Left (above).
Schemes: All.
Top (HqnLayout config)
number (0, +ve) Default: 0
The margin above the top page on the selected side of the sheet. See Left (above).
Schemes: All.
HorAlign (HqnLayout config)
name enum
Default: /AlignLeft
The page grid is horizontally positioned within the area of the raster left after Left and Right are accounted for according to this value.
/AlignLeft
/AlignCenter
/AlignRightFor more information see Gutters, margins and crop marks in HqnLayout.
Schemes: All.
VertAlign (HqnLayout config)
name enum
Default: /AlignBottom
The page grid is vertically positioned within the area of the raster left after Top and Bottom are accounted for according to this value.
/AlignTop
/AlignCenter
/AlignBottomFor more information see Gutters, margins and crop marks in HqnLayout.
Schemes: All.
MarginPolicy (HqnLayout config)
name enum
Default: /Clip
Crop marks and bleed extend into the margins defined within simple imposition. By default, the margins do not grow automatically if too large a set of annotations is defined on any edge; they are clipped. This can be changed using the MarginPolicy key.
| Clip the annotations. |
| Abort the job. |
| Enlarge the margins. |
Schemes: All.
Crops (HqnLayout config)
name enum Default: /None
Draw crop marks on all pages on the selected side of each sheet:
| No crop marks |
| Small trim marks only (12-point space) |
| Large trim marks, plus separation names, step wedges, and so on (30-point space) |
| Trim marks to show the locations of all PDF page boxes. For file formats other than PDF, this is equivalent to |
If Bleed is greater than the space required for the crops selected, the crop marks are enlarged to fill the bleed area.
Schemes: All
FoldCut (HqnLayout config)
Boolean Default: false
Draw fold and/or cut marks in all appropriate gutters on the selected side of each sheet. Schemes: All schemes except OneUp_1s_1 and OneUp_2s_1.
RegMarks (HqnLayout config)
name enum
Default: /None
Draw register marks on the selected side of the sheet.
| No register marks. |
| Draw register marks if space is available; warn if not. |
| Draw register marks. Abort job if no space available. |
Schemes: All.
PageBox (HqnLayout config)
Boolean
Default: false
Draw a box round every page on the selected side of the sheet.
Schemes: All. (To be used mainly on laser print with NUp scheme.)
FillOrder (HqnLayout config)
name enum
Default: /L2RT2B
The order in which pages should be filled on the selected side of an N-Up scheme. See FillOrder for HqnLayout for more information.
Schemes: NUp* , CutStack* (for front only in CutStack_2s_1 ; the back is derived automatically from the front).
Annotations (HqnLayout config)
array of dicts Default: [ ]
Slug lines and control strips. There is no limit to the number of annotations that may be used. If multiple annotations are placed on the same edge of a raster, the first in the array is nearest to the edge, subsequent ones are placed further and further from the edge. Similarly, some annotations (the color bars) take account of annotations already placed on adjacent edges of the raster, so as not to overlap.
See The HqnLayout annotations array for more details.
Schemes: All.
