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, labelled typeblock.
