NAME

       print.ini — survex printer settings

Description

       The print.ini file contains printer descriptions for the Survex printer drivers.

   File Format
       The  format  of the print.ini file is similar to the .ini files used on Microsoft Windows.
       The file is divided into sections,  each  section  corresponding  to  a  separate  printer
       description.   A section starts with a section name in square brackets, e.g. aven's built-
       in printer support uses the aven section:

       [aven]

       followed by some options of the form <option>=<setting>, e.g.:

       font_size_labels=6

       In the supplied print.ini each option is preceded by a comment (indicated by  a  semicolon
       ';') briefly explaining the option.

Customising Printer Settings

       If you wish to change the size of the font used for labels or the colours used you need to
       override some of the setting in print.ini.

       You shouldn't modify the master print.ini (located in /usr/share/survex on Unix, or in the
       same  directory  as  the  Survex  program files on other systems), or your changes will be
       overwritten by upgrades.  Instead create:

          •  /etc/survex/print.ini (Unix - system-wide settings)

          •  ~/.survex/print.ini (Unix - per user settings)

          •  myprint.ini in the directory where Survex is installed (other platforms)

       If one of these files contains a setting then aven will use it instead of the  setting  in
       the  master  print.ini.   Any settings not specified will still fall back to the values in
       print.ini.
