PARAMETERS INFORMATION FILE
This file contains parameters available and appropriate useage
information as can be used in your specific "params" file.
Note that all parameters must be specified in lower case characters.
serial#=
This number must be correct as assigned or the program will
not run.
windowloc=0
The window location parameter determines whether the menu is
located on the right or the left of the drawing area.
0 - menu is on right
1 - menu is on left
display=2
The display type parameter tells ProCadd about the users
particular requested display resolution. The default is type
2, or VGA. If your monitor is not VGA or better, the program
will fall back to an acceptable type. If you wish greater
resolution these types are available.
If selections 0 or 1 are used, the drawing area will be
severely reduced.
0 - CGA/EGA 640x200 4 - VGA 1024x768 (VESA)
1 - EGA 640x350 5 - VGA 1280x1024 (VESA)
2 - VGA 640x480 (default) 6 - VGA 1024x768 (C&T only)
3 - VGA 800x600 (VESA) 7 - Pixelworks Microclipper
pick_app=3
The value entered at this parameter tells ProCadd that any
point located by the user within "3" pixels of an element or
more specifically it's endpoint, should be interpreted as that
element or endpoint.
In cases where the user is operating with a display type above
800x600, the "pick_app=" should be at "4".
screen_height=9.5"
screen_width=12.5"
The screen height and width settings enable the user to
adjust the ProCadd drawing area so that real size is displayed.
The default settings are for a standard 17 inch monitor. When
setting these parameters for another, measure the usable
display area on that particular monitor.
efubufs=10
This buffers parameter determines how much memory that ProCadd
will set aside as a cache for entity file I/O.
-----------
user_units=
The "user_units=" parameter determines whether or not metric
units will be used in the program.
When "user_units=" is set to a value representing a metric unit
of measure, it can be considered to be in metric mode.
When in metric mode, the standard unit as defined as one is
centimeter instead of inch.
This mode affects operations including plotter functions,
dimension operations and text sizing.
When this parameter is set to "5", metric operation will not be
default and the standard unit will be one inch.
If this parameter is set to "2" and therefore metric operations
are desired, the user would probably also want to redefine the
"dimresol=" and dim_units=" parameters. These would change the
defaults in the Dimension functions to metric units and a
decimal resolution.
If the user has not specified any values at these related
parameters, the program will default to cm and 1/10 resolution.
Drawing is in metric format, the program will automatically flag
all files as metric unless either the status is switched at New
Drawing or a U.S. format saved drawing is retreived thereby
changing the internal flag to U.S.
The current values available for "user_units=" are:
user_units=2 - centimeters (metric)
5 - inches (U.S. Standard)
circle_chords=48
The value entered at this parameter determines the amount of
chords used to display circles or circular elements. The
more chords, the finer the curved representation. This does
not affect the plot.
resolution=1000.0
The resolution parameter value is used to assign display
resolution limits to the program. A default resolution is
1000 which determines that the least definable unit from the
display's standpoint is 1/1000 of the default unit of measure
which is one inch, or in the case of metric operation, one
centimeter.
min_window=250
This parameter value assigns a zooming limit to the program in
relation to the above mentioned resolution value. The value
250 interprets as 250/1000, or 1/4 inch or centimeter. This
value will be the smallest allowed window size.
bg_color=0
- Background Color (default 0 equals black)
fg_color=15

sel_color=14
- Select Color (default 14 equals yellow)

In cases where the user is operating with a laptop or monchrome
monitor or if the user would prefer a white background, we would
suggest the following color selections.
frame_color=0
fg_color=0
bg_color=7
hi_color=10
