Well, I think I have solved it. But I don't know why this solves it.

I would think that in the above script all the variables would be numbers and not strings. But the data browser says they are strings.

The solution is:

var marginsLHand = [marginY1, Number(-marginX2).toFixed(4), marginY2, Number(-marginX1).toFixed(4)]

If someone can explain why now all variables in the arrays are strings and not numbers, I'll be happy.

Tom
