APPENDIX 1
Accreditation Card Customization
It is possible to customize accreditation cards for different purposes like weigh-in notes or
diplomas. You have to create a text file that describes the wanted layout.
Template file is composed of lines. A line starting with a hash mark is a comment, otherwise it is a
data line. Data belongs to one of the following categories:
•
general settings
•
attributes
•
texts and pictures
Example:
# This is a comment
General settings
Card size is the size of the printed note in mm. As many as possible cards are fitted on one A4
page unless overruled otherwise.
Example:
cardsize 105 59.4
Page geometry is a better way to tell how many cards you want on one page. Printer marginals are
taken into the considiration. The following line is the default and can be left out (2 columns, 5
rows).
pagegeom 2 5
Background picture can be used. Only PNG files are supported. Picture is resized to the notesize.
Example:
background C:\Pictures\MyBackground.png
Note is surrounded by a border. You can set the border line width. Line width 0 means no border.
Example:
border 1
It is possible to print medal winners only. The following line prints gold, silver, and bronze
medalists:
winners 1 2 3
Positions 1 – 7 are valid. Note! You must print the results with the statistics first, since that saves
the position information to the database!
Attributes
Attribute lines describe how the text should look like. Their values are valid until replaced by
another attribute line.
Font should be something that is supported by your system. The deafult is Arial.
