Arguments: windows-graphics &optional (stream-units-p t)
Returns the value of the left-margin property of the argument. The value is in space-widths (the width of the space character in the current font of the argument) unless the optional stream-units-p argument is specified true, in which case pixel units rather than space-widths are used.
When drawing text using common lisp functions such as print or format, a newline will move the current position to the left margin. On the other hand, when using common graphics drawing functions, an application should take note of a stream's margins and position the drawing appropriately.
left-margin is a property of the printer class.
Note: incompatible change in release 6.0: in releases prior
to 6.0, when a frame-with-single-child instance
was passed to this operator, the operator was actually applied to the
child (the result of applying frame-child to the
frame-with-single-child instance). In release 6.0, this redirection no
longer occurs. If you intend this operator to apply to the
frame-child, pass that to this operator rather than the parent. This
is a non-backward-compatible-change. See the release notes for more
information.
