Documentation
Use
The definitions made in this field allow you to divide up the graphic objects into fields.
Objects are divided up as follows:
A graphic object is composed of interconnected horizontal and vertical strips. The strips may contain further strips or fields.
The horizontal strip is a rectangular area containing any number of columns. These columns can contain any number of lines.
A vertical strip is a rectangular area containing any number of lines which can contain any number of columns.
This nesting can be continued as required. You can also position fields outside the graphic object. The rectangle can contain any number of strips. The longest horizontal strip determines the width of the rectangle and the longest vertical strip determines its height.
The following elements are available to describe how it is set up:
$name - Identification for text field
@name - Identification for symbol field
%name - Identification for filler field
// - vertical subdivision
/ - vertical subdivision without separator line
-- - horizontal subdivision
- - horizontal subdivision without separator line
[] - frame of the graphic object
() - for generating strips, associated parts
The following rules apply here:
- Square brackets fix the position of the rectangle frame.
- The layout definition is processed from left to right.
- Related areas are enclosed in rounded brackets.
- Elements can be separated as required using blanks.
- Only lowercase letters can be used for field names.
- Field names may occur once only.
A text field contains a text entered in an application program.
A symbol field displays a graphic field. A corresponding entry is made in the field definition.
A filler field is used to fill areas in the graphic object and does not have a minimum field width. It adapts itself automatically to the settings of the neighbouring fields. It does not contain text or a graphic symbol.
Examples
- [$a//$b//$c] results in:
+=========+=========+=========+
! Field a ! Field b ! Field c !
+=========+=========+=========+ - [$a--(($b--$c)//$d)] results in:
+=============================+
! Field a !
+=========+===================+
! Field b ! !
+=========! Field d !
! Field c ! !
+=============================+ - $a[[$c]$b] results in:
+=============================+
Field a ! Field c !
+=============================+
Field b - [@a//$b//@c] results in:
+===========+===========+===========+
! Symbol a ! Symbol b ! Symbol c !
