The Win32 documentation for the Escape() function says that the
GETPHYSPAGESIZE, GETPRINTINGOFFSET, and GETSCALINGFACTOR escapes are
obsolete, but it fails to mention the recommended way to get this
information.
The information retrieved by all three escapes can now be retrieved by
calling GetDeviceCaps() with the appropriate index:
- For the GETPHYSPAGESIZE escape, the indexes to be used with
GetDeviceCaps() are PHYSICALWIDTH and PHYSICALHEIGHT.
- For GETPRINTINGOFFSET, the indexes are PHYSICALOFFSETX and
PHYSICALOFFSETY.
- For GETSCALINGFACTOR, the indexes are SCALINGFACTORX and SCALINGFACTORY.
All six new indexes are defined in the file WINGDI.H, though they are
missing from the GetDeviceCaps() documentation.
