Set as Default Trellis Page Size

A trellis display can have one or more pages; each page is a plot (viewport). Define page dimension to be, in a page, the number of panels in a row and the number of panels in a column. Use D_{(nrows, ncols)} as a shorthand for a page dimensions of nrows panels per row and ncols panels per column.

Argos initially uses a default common width and height in millimeter units for all trellis pages, regardless of their page dimensions. That is, a trellis page of D_{(1, 6)} and a trellis page of D_{(6, 1)} will be of the same width and height, given a fresh installation of Argos. After you develop a preference for a screen size for a particular page dimension, you can invoke Set as Default Trellis Page Size on a trellis page of that page dimension. Next time when you create a trellis display, Argos will check to see if there is a preferred screen size for the page dimension of the trellis pages being created. If there is, Argos will use it; if there is not, Argos will fall back to the default common width and height.

If Shift-<Set as Default Trellis Page Size> [1] is invoked, the width and height in millimeter units of the trellis page on which it is invoked will be set as the default common width and height, which will be used for all trellis pages that do not have a preferred screen size.

Set as Default Trellis Page Size will be active and not grayed out in the right-click menu of a trellis page if and only if one of the following 2 conditions is met:

• Set as Default Trellis Page Size has never been invoked on any trellis pages of the same page dimension.

• The width and height of this trellis page are different from the ones specified by a previous invocation of Set as Default Trellis Page Size on a trellis page of the same page dimension.
