Van de Graaf / Tschichold Page Construction Canon
This is the Van de Graaf page construction canon, as popularized by the designer Jan Tschichold. Here it is applied to A4 paper.
For a right-hand page, the margins are given by:

- right - KP
- bottom - KQ
To adjust the margins for other page sizes, change the coordinates:
- A is (0, Page Height)
- B is (2 × Page Width, Page Height)
- C is (2 × Page Width, 0)
- D is (0,0)
