% singcard.tex - common macros for Singular reference cards.
%
% Some of the macros/settings ripped from gdb reference card.
%

%
% - declare configurable parameters.
%
\newdimen\totalwidth
\newdimen\totalheight
\newdimen\hmargin
\newdimen\vmargin

\newdimen\barwidth
\newdimen\barheight

%%% START CONFIGURABLE SECTION

%
% - configure your papersize.
%

% US letter paper (8.5x11in)
%\totalwidth=11in		% total width of paper
%\totalheight=8.5in		% total height of paper
%\hmargin=.25in			% horizontal margin width
%\vmargin=.25in			% vertical margin width

% A4 paper
\totalwidth=29.7cm
\totalheight=21cm
\hmargin=6mm
\vmargin=6mm

%
% - configure your folding guides.
%
\barwidth=.1pt			% width of the folding guide
\barheight=2pt			% height of the folding guide

% For NO printed folding guide,
% comment out other \def\vdecor's and uncomment:
%\def\vdecor{\hskip\hmargin plus1fil\hskip\barwidth plus1fil\hskip\hmargin plus1fil}

% For SOLID LINE folding guide,
% comment out other \def\vdecor's and uncomment:
%\def\vdecor{\hskip\hmargin plus1fil \vrule width \barwidth \hskip\hmargin plus1fil}

% For SMALL MARKS NEAR TOP AND BOTTOM as folding guide,
% comment out other \def\vdecor's and uncomment:
\def\vdecor{\hskip\hmargin plus1fil
\vbox to \vsize{\hbox to \barwidth{\vrule height\barheight width\barwidth}\vfill
\hbox to \barwidth{\vrule height\barheight width\barwidth}}%THIS PERCENT SIGN IS ESSENTIAL
\hskip\hmargin plus1fil}

% \verysmallskip: skip a very small amount (used between \sec entries).
%   Extra skip does not harm in the applications of \verysmallskip,
%   so we choose a large stretch for it.
