Map is clipped or cropped when printing directly from ARCINFO

Description

When trying print or plot a map created in ARCINFO, it is clipped or cropped.

Cause

The map is wider than the target printer can print.

Solution or Workaround

• If the map will fit by simply rotating then use the ARC command ROTATEPLOT and process the rotated map.
• If the map will too large even if rotated, use ArcPress's PANEL option to panel the map into portions small enough to be plotted without clipping.
• If ArcPress is not available, then use the ARCPLOT command PLOTPANEL for the same purpose.
  
  

  Note:
  Additionally, COLORHCBS, HPGL2, VCGL, and VCGL2 commands can specify a xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax to cut a portion of the file for plotting. These coordinates can be used as a 'cookie-cutter"' to plot a file in pieces.
