[Therion] Position of map on the paper in export

[Torsten Schnitter]

Hi Bruce

Yes, I'm using export map.
"page-grin on" and "size x y cm" is just used for debugging.

Attached you'll find my map.
As you can see there is plenty of space around the map.
May be it's more clear what I mean if you can see it. ;-)

I want the map to be more lower left in the same scale.
Is this possible in any way?

Thanks
Torsten
