reopening the page;
folding the page in half to produce a second fold line at the center of the second and third edges of the page;
reopening the page;
determining a first location where the first fold line crosses the first graduated bar, a second location where the second fold line crosses the second graduated bar, and a third location where the second fold line crosses the third graduated bar;
calculating a plane rotation angle based on the second and third locations; and
calculating a plane translation value based on the plane rotation angle and the first and third locations.
