The first argument of {{cmd|setuppapersize}} is the dimension a page will have. The second argument is the size of the paper the pages will be printed on; see {{cmd|setuparranging}} for placing multiple pages on a sheet. If the second argument is omitted, the paper size is assumed to equal the page size.

doubleoversized  doubles the height and adds 1,5 cm on each side

The second argument is A4 by default (it would be better to use the same as the first argument for default value, but now it cannot be changed back for compatibility reasons). This means that you always have to provide the second argument if you want some othe paper size than A4.
 
 
 
For example if you want a landscape document, make sure to say landscape in both arguments:

For example:
 
<texcode>
 
<texcode>
\setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape]
+
\setuppapersize[letter,landscape][letter,landscape,oversized]
 
</texcode>
 
</texcode>
  
To define your own paper size see [[cmd:definepapersize]].
+
sets the size of the pages to letter size (landscape), and the size of the paper (before cutting) to oversized letter size, which has edges that are 1.5 cm longer. <tt>letter</tt> is a pre-defined papersize; one can define one's own papersizes using {{cmd|definepapersize}}.

\setuppapersize

Syntax

\setuppapersize[...,...,...][...,...,...]
[...,...,...] A3 A4 A5 A6 letter ... CD name landscape mirrored rotated 90 180 270
[...,...,...] A3 A4 A5 A6 letter ... name landscape mirrored rotated negative 90 180 270


Description

The first argument of \setuppapersize is the dimension a page will have. The second argument is the size of the paper the pages will be printed on; see \setuparranging for placing multiple pages on a sheet. If the second argument is omitted, the paper size is assumed to equal the page size.

For example:

\setuppapersize[letter,landscape][letter,landscape,oversized]

sets the size of the pages to letter size (landscape), and the size of the paper (before cutting) to oversized letter size, which has edges that are 1.5 cm longer. letter is a pre-defined papersize; one can define one's own papersizes using \definepapersize.

There are several options one can use to modify a predefined paper size:

  • portrait: the default paper sizes are 'standing up', taller than they are wide.
  • landscape: turn the paper 90 degrees so it is lying down
  • samesized: same size as the first argument
  • oversized: adds 1.5 cm to each edge
  • undersized: subtracts 1.5 cm from each edge
  • doublesized: doubles the width
  • doubleoversized: doubles the width and adds 1.5 cm to each edge

There are quite a few pre-defined paper sizes:

Size Remarks
letter, ledger, tabloid, legal, folio, executive Sizes from the North American paper standard.
A0A10, B0B10, C0C10 From the A, B, and C series of the ISO-216 standard.
RA0RA4, SRA0SRA4 From the RA and SRA series of ISO-217 paper standard.
C6/C5, DL, E4 From the ISO-269 standard envelope sizes.
envelope 9envelope 14 Sizes from the American postal standard.
G5 and E5 From the Swedish SIS-014711 standard. These are used for Swedish theses.
CD (12x12cm) for CD covers.
S3S6, S8, SM, SW For screen sizes. These sizes are useful for presentations. S3S6 and S8 have an aspect ratio of 4:3. S3 is 300pt wide, S4 is 400pt wide, and so on. S6 is almost as wide as a A4 paper. SM and SW are for medium and wide screens; they have the same height as S6.
