The parameters

This section discusses all the parameters in a configuration file, in the order required by . It would be a good idea to look at the Default config file while reading the following information. The list of config files appear as items at the end of the Config menu and must correspond to text files stored in the Configs folder. This list is ignored in non-default configuration files. The default config file will automatically load any config files whose names start with ``+''. The list of format files appear as items at the end of the TEX menu and must correspond to the names of .fmt files in the TeX-formats folder. The format file names must not contain any spaces. Place your preferred format first. The list of help files appear as items in the Help menu and must correspond to text files in the Help-files folder. The Help menu will not appear if the list is empty. NOTE: Any string starting with ``-'' in the above three lists will result in a disabled line in the corresponding menu. The printer resolution (in dots per inch) is used when printing a DVI file and the viewing resolution is used when viewing a DVI file. In both cases the maximum value is 3000 and the minimum value is the resolution of your screen (typically 72). Both resolution values are followed by a string specifying the mode that will be used by {\logo METAFONT\null} when making missing PK fonts; see section [*]. The units parameter tells how to display dimensions when printing or viewing a DVI file. The normal TEX units are available (in, cm, mm, pc, pt, bp) as well as px (see section [*]). The paper width and height dimensions are used to detect page-off-paper errors when viewing a DVI file and during low-level PostScript printing. (In standard PostScript printing and non-PostScript printing, uses the paper size and orientation selected in the ``Page Setup'' dialog.) If the width is greater than the height then will print or view in landscape mode. The Default values specify A4 paper in portrait mode. If you use US Letter paper then see the US Letter config file for suitable default values. The horizontal and vertical offsets affect the positioning of all pages when printing a DVI file. They should only be changed if your printer has problems positioning the TEX origin (see page 2 in nasty.dvi). These offsets are not used when viewing a DVI file. The ``show statistics'' and other flag parameters specify the initial settings of some check boxes used in the dialogs for printing a DVI file.
