Hi all, Normally I use an A1 sheet for schematics which I print on A3 format paper, or for schematics with a few really small components: I use an A3 sheet and print on A4 paper.
Just my EUR 0.02 Kind regards, Bert Timmerman. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Peter Clifton Verzonden: vrijdag 7 september 2007 18:53 Aan: gEDA user mailing list Onderwerp: Re: gEDA-user: A4 Printing Should probably keep the replies on list, so I've re-added the CC On Fri, 2007-09-07 at 23:00 +1000, Greg Cunningham wrote: > On Fri, 2007-09-07 at 13:02 +0100, Peter Clifton wrote: > > On Fri, 2007-09-07 at 21:10 +1000, Greg Cunningham wrote: > > > This is a 2-for-1 question/problem... > > > > > > Being an Oz resident, A4 is the standard 'book-sized printout for me. > > > The postscript output crops the right-hand side of the image by > > > about 1cm.

You could do, but as the aspect ratios are the same, you probably want the larger ones. Gschem's components are pretty big in comparison to an A4 page. > > If you're getting the background colours in your print, you're > > probably using an image export rather than "print".

If I use (load (build-path geda-rc-path > "gschem-lightbg")) ; light background would you expect color-on-grey > or color-on-white? It prints color-on-white as in the /usr/share/gEDA/gschem-lightbg file, we have: (background-color 0 "grey94" "null" "1 1 1" 255 255 255) ; light background Note "1 1 1" is a white colour output in the postscript and the 255 255 255 gives a white colour output in the PNG output. "grey94" is the X11 background colour for the screen. If you've got some specific requirements for printing, perhaps you could produce a customised colour-scheme scheme file.
