;; Explanation of parameters:
-;;

;; BPIXMAP: pixmap id of the backing pixmap for the window. If no
;; pixmap is to be used, this parameter should be zero. This
;; parameter must be zero when drawing on a pixmap.
-;;
+;;
;; ORIENT: orientation of the page. The number represents clockwise
;; rotation of the paper in degrees. Permitted values are 0, 90, 180,
;; 270.
-;;
+;;
;; LLX, LLY, URX, URY: Bounding box of the drawable. The bounding box
;; is specified in PostScript points in default user coordinates.
-;;
+;;
;; XDPI, YDPI: Resolution of window. (This can be derived from the
;; other parameters, but not without roundoff error. These values are
;; included to avoid this error.)
-;;

;; LEFT, BOTTOM, TOP, RIGHT: (optional) Margins around the window.
;; The margins extend the imageable area beyond the boundaries of the
;; window. This is primarily used for popup zoom windows. I have
