Description

Define a fixed area (e.g. for images, text or ads) in a column set.

• x: start area at column no.
• y: start area at line no.
• nx: area width (no. of columns)
• ny: area height (no. of lines)

The columnsets also shows an additional optional (second) parameter [left], [right] or [both] as well as a key "type".

In the source the type key (with the possible values of both, fixed, left, right, next) is disabled with the remark "not now". Probably it should control the placement on left/right pages.
