Links to the two versions:
• /A4 = (250mm÷√√2) × (250mm×√√2) ≈ 210mm × 297mm;
• /USL = 8½″ × 11″ = 215.9mm × 279.4mm.
Initially I thought that the Symingtons were using the software, but this was actually made by our very own SushiNorth for the Dow vertical in New York on Saturday 19th March 2011.TheVintagePortSite.com wrote:
We're typically pretty crowded at the ACPT tastings, so the notes on the left could belong to the taster on the left. Inconclusive, I think.jdaw1 wrote:Tasting notes on the left suggests a left-hander, but none of the placemat pages are left-handed.
Well that's pretty cool -- but I merely used JDaw's software for the mats. The origin of the picture is far more interesting -- I have been unable to find it amongst my set, which means it likely came from a different attendee.jdaw1 wrote:Flash has drawn my attention to TheVintagePortSite.com/view.php?id=13820, saying “seems like the placemat is famous”.

Code: Select all
/PackingDirectionVertical /TopToBottom def % /TopToBottom /BottomToTop
/PackingDirectionHorizontal /LeftToRight def % /LeftToRight /RightToLeft
/PackingNestingColumnMajor false def
That parameter should switch the ordering of the loops, i.e. whether “rows would be filled before columns” or the reverse.Glenn E. wrote:Previous discussion in this thread indicated that simply setting /PackingNestingColumnMajor true def would reverse the order of the rows.
Unless you are using positions supplied as an array, or one of the other PermittedPackingStyles in which this request would make no sense, it is my bug. Please email your code.Glenn E. wrote:I have tried both /PackingNestingColumnMajor true def and /PackingDirectionVertical /BottomToTop def but end up with the same output in either case.

This is what I expected based on the name. The earlier discussion, then, was in error.

Excellent, thank you. I will go attempt the following:jdaw1 wrote:My bug: sorry.
These option still exist, and still work, but as a flag within PermittedPackingStyles. The bug was forgetting to delete the three lines in which the no-longer-used parameters were set. So you might want something likeJust uploaded, a new version of the code without the three redundant lines.Code: Select all
/PermittedPackingStyles [ [ /RectangularDislocation /PackingNestingColumnMajor true /PackingDirectionTopToBottom false ] ] def
Code: Select all
/PermittedPackingStyles [
[ /Diamonds /PackingNestingColumnMajor false /PackingDirectionTopToBottom false ]
] def
Then the “/PackingNestingColumnMajor false” is redundant, IIRC.Glenn E. wrote:I will go attempt the following:
