Left and top margins. Lm, Tm, PLm and PTm parameters

LM (left margin) and TM (top margin) are used to define the margins for your report.

Changing these values will be specially useful when it is necessary to fit an entire report into a page. Top margin and left margin will affect the entire report.

Its remarkable that the top or left margins could be possitive or negative numbers.

Click on the columns button on the toolbar to see the margins (available only on the developer edition of Rpv BR).

Example:

LM=567
TM=1134

This example shows us how to move the entire report one centimeter to the left and two to the bottom.

There are two additional parameters that will be used only when printing the report: they are PLM and PTM.
They work in the same way that LM and TM work but they affect only for printing the report.

In case that the LM and TM parameters are set, PLM and/or PTM will take the value of LM and TM, unless PLM and PTM have been set.
