Set the width of folding PAD figure

In pad2ps a large PAD figure will be folded as to fit in one page. The folding width is calculated by pad2ps series, so normally we do not have to bother with it.

But sometimes you may want to set a limit to the string length in PAD. The output PAD figure may be tough to read if the original figure is long in sideway. In these cases you may want to set the limit to the string length to prevent the folding.

To set the maximum and minimum length of the string, set the parameter max_length  and min_length . These values are set as infinity and 0 by default. By setting these parameters, pad2ps series will fold the figures under specified condition.
