This method returns the object executing the method (self).
The :create() method requests a presentation space from the operating system. Graphic output can occur using the XbpPresSpace object only after this method is executed. If the parameter <oDevice> is not specified, output can occur in the presentation space, but it is not visible. Graphic output is only visible if the presentation space is linked to a device context.
If the <aPageSize> parameter is not specified, the page is dimensioned to the size of the device context. In this case, the page has the same size like the view port. The page size can also be defined using the method :setPageSize().
