set plot area to layout in page setup

[redstepdrafter]

does anyone know of a way to set the plot area in the page setup to layout through lisp or vb

A "quick and dirty" way to do it with lisp is to go through the PLOT function with a COMMAND:

(command "plot" "y" ""...

Be sure to enter "Layout" for the "Enter plot area" prompt, a "y" for the "Save changes to layout" prompt and "n" for the "Proceed with plot" prompt.
