OVERVIEW

IPDS uses orthogonal coordinate systems to define any point on
a page.  The distances within these systems are measured in
logical units (L–units) instead of physical picture elements.  The
coordinate systems are listed in this section.  For greater detail,
refer to the IBM Intelligent Printer Data Stream Reference,
publication number S544–3417–04.

•

Xm, Ym coordinate system—the physical page (medium)
coordinate system.

•

Xp, Yp coordinate system—the logical page presentation
space coordinate system for both a page’s logical page and
an overlay’s logical page.

•

Inline, Baseline (I, B) coordinate system—describes the
placement and orientation of text characters and data
blocks on the logical page.

•

Xg, Yg coordinate system—describes the placement of
graphics data within the graphics presentation space.

•

Xio, Yio coordinate system—describes the placement of IO
image data within the IO image presentation space.

•

Xbc, Ybc coordinate system—describes the placement of
bar code data within the bar code presentation space.

•

Xbl, Ybl coordinate system—describes the placement of IO
image, graphics, and bar code presentation spaces within
data blocks that are positioned on a logical page.

All coordinate systems can be used to locate any point in relation
to the logical page and the medium space.
