## 6.5 More about stylesheets

#### Paper size

The style sheet is also responsible for determining the paper and frame size. Ipe's default paper size is the ISO standard A4. If you wish to use letter size paper instead, include this style sheet:

       <ipestyle name="letterpaper">
         <layout paper="612 792" origin="0 0" frame="612 792"/>
       </ipestyle>

#### Latex preamble.

Stylesheets can also define a piece of LaTeX-preamble for your document. When your text objects are processed by LaTeX, the preamble used consists of the pieces on the style sheet cascade, from bottom to top, followed by the preamble set for the document itself.
