NSPageLayout

NSPageLayout provides a panel that allows the user to specify certain information about the printer and how data is formatted for printing. This includes information about the paper size and orientation. Typically you would create a page layout panel with the +pageLayout class method. However, the best way to use the panel is to have the application call the runPageLayout: method in the NSApplication object which would both create a standard NSPageLayout panel and display it in a modal loop. This method would be sent up the responder chain if the user clicked on a Page Layout menu item.
