PageWidth

Usage

PageWidth is an option for output streams and for cells which specifies how wide each line of text should be allowed to be.


Notes

• Possible settings for output streams are:
Infinity an infinite width (no linebreaking)
n explicit width in characters
SetOptions[stream, PageWidth -> val] resets the line width allowed for an open stream.
• Possible settings for cells are:
WindowWidth the width of the window on the screen
PaperWidth the width of the page as it would be printed
n explicit width given in printer's points
PageWidth->WindowWidth allows each line to use the full width of the displayed window, taking into account settings for CellMargins.
• New in Version 1; modified in 3.
