Protocol: Internal Local Adaption
Arrays are printed by simulating a fixed spaced font. Each APL symbol is therefore wrapped in a box of e.g. 1em length. Since the internal APL2 format algorithm is used to produce columns of printout which can be pasted together for broad outputs, we have to know at APL preprocessing time, how many characters fit on a line. The number of characters per line depends on the documentstyle size and the size specified for an array environment.
For an article 10pt style, 17cm textwidth and an array environment set in footnotesize we get 56 characters per line. In order to obtain this result we convert 17cm to 483.6984pt and we measure 1em at 10pt and footnotesize as 8.50012pt. Of course we write some LATEX macros to do the hard work.
