Defining the Typeblock

The typeblock is the main area of the page where the text goes. The dimensions of the typeblock are given by the LaTeX lengths \textwidth and \textheight. In Jpgfdraw, you specify the typeblock using the TeX/LaTeX->Flow Frames->Set Typeblock... menu item. This opens up a dialog box in which you should specify the margins between the paper edge and the typeblock. You can specify the lengths as TeX points ( ), PostScript points ( ), inches (in) or centimetres (cm).

Once you have set the typeblock, it will appear on the screen as a light gray rectangle, labeled typeblock.
