G E O M E T R Y Geometry Package v3.2 (2002/07/08) CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/supported/geometry Copyright (C) 1996-2002 Hideo Umeki Distributed under the terms of LPPL -------------- Abstract -------------- This package provides a flexible and complete user interface to page dimensions. You can specify them by using intuitive parameters to get your desired page layout. For example, if you want to set margins (the left, right, top and bottom margins) to 2cm from each edge of the paper, what you need is just \usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry}. -------------- Files -------------- README this file ChangeLog history of changes and versions Makefile makefile for unpacking and documentation geometry.ins installation script geometry.dtx documentation and code for geometry.{sty,cfg} manual.pdf ready-to-print package manual (A4-paper PDF) sample.tex sample file test/gcheck.sty style file for tests test/gtest*.tex test files test/Makefile makefile for test -------------- Installation -------------- 1) latex geometry.ins (or `make') unpacks `geometry.sty' and `geometry.cfg' from geometry.dtx. 2) Edit `geometry.cfg' if you need to set your default options. Add \ExecuteOptions{a4paper} in geometry.cfg if you are using A4 paper by default. 3) Copy geometry.sty and geometry.cfg into a directory searched by LaTeX. 4) To clean up files, type `make clean'. -------------- Documentation -------------- The package contains the manual `manual.pdf'. So you don't have to make the manual, but you can remake it. To create the same manual, type `make manual' then you have `manual.pdf' with PDF of A4-paper size. To create the full documentation with the code description, type `make doc' then you have `geometry.dvi' with DVI of us-letter size. You can edit manual.drv or geometry.drv and pdflatex or latex it. -------------- Test -------------- Type `make test' and check the results. Or you can use `sample.tex' for test, but make sure to set a proper paper size in sample.tex. Before checking these results by printing with your printer, I would strongly recommend to `latex testpage' and print testpage.dvi with your printer to see if the printer margins are properly set. -------------- ChangeLog -------------- See ChangeLog.
