Property of

PageTemplate

Description

Use marginLeft in conjunction with the PageTemplate’s other margin- properties to define the usable area of the page. The position of StreamFrame objects and components bound to the PageTemplate is relative to the top left corner of the usable area and cannot extend beyond the bottom right corner.

marginLeft indicates the distance, in the report’s current metric units, between the left edge of the page and the left edge of the usable area.

When using multiple PageTemplate objects, you can position items differently just by changing the margins. For example, you may use different left and right pages that have increased margins on the inside edge (the gutter space) for binding.
