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