Adjust the vertical interval between PADs

 

The PAD boxes are drawn with appropriate intervals, but sometimes you may want to change this setting. Also you better change the interval manually when a PAD box is at end of a page and it splits over two pages. These problems are usually solved by adding empty lines, but you sometimes may want to fine-tune the intervals. In this case use the parameter vsp . Also empty lines at top of PADEL is ignored, so to adjust the interval before the first PAD figure a only solution is to use vsp.

As an argument of vsp, specify the size of spaces to be put. As a reference, an empty line put the space of 400 outside PAD and the spaces of 120 inside PAD by default. Also, you can set a negative number for vsp. By doing so, you can lessen or nullify the interval and even overlap two PAD boxes. To nullify the interval, set the argument -120. Lesser value causes two PADs to overlap.
