Additional information
In working out where block columns are placed, PTC ALD will attempt to achieve the best fit based on the following criteria:
• An even spread of the block columns within the frame columns.
• As little squashing of measured widths as possible
• An even balance of the size of relative widths within each of the frame columns.
• Obeying <?blockcolfcnew=1> wherever possible.
• Avoidance of cells that span over the frame gutters, giving higher priority to cells that span smaller numbers of block columns.
Within each of the frame-columns the relevant block-columns with be squashed or stretched to fit in the usual manner
