Just try out a few values. % All other values will be computed at process time so it should be % quite easy to support different paper sizes - only four values to % guess :-) % % To find the configuration places, just search for the string % "CONFIGURATION". % % Andreas Vogel (av@ssw.de) % % % % Uncomment the following `magnification' command if you want to print % out in a larger font. Caution! You may need larger paper. You had % best avoid using 3-column output if you try this. See the ``Three % column format'' section below if you want to print in three column % format. % %\magnification=\magstep 1 % % NOTE ON INTENTIONAL OMISSIONS: This reference card includes most GDB % commands, but due to space constraints there are some things I chose % to omit. In general, not all synonyms for commands are covered, nor % all variations of a command. % The GDB-under-Emacs section omits gdb-mode functions without default % keybindings. GDB startup options are not described. % set print sevenbit-strings, set symbol-reloading omitted. % printsyms, printpsyms, omitted since they're for GDB maintenance primarily % share omitted due to obsolescence % set check range/type omitted at least til code is in GDB. % %-------------------- Three column format ----------------------- %%%% --- To disable three column format, comment out this entire section % Three-column format for landscape printing %-------- Papersize defs: \newdimen\totalwidth \newdimen\totalheight \newdimen\hmargin \newdimen\vmargin \newdimen\secskip \newdimen\lskip \newdimen\barwidth \newdimen\barheight \newdimen\intersecwidth %% %% START CONFIGURATION - PAPERSIZE DEFINITIONS %------- Papersize params: %% 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 \secskip=1pc % space between refcard secs \lskip=2pt % extra skip between \sec entries %------- end papersize params %% %% change according to personal taste, not papersize dependent %% \barwidth=.1pt % width of the cropmark bar \barheight=2pt % height of the cropmark bar \intersecwidth=0.5em % width between \itmwid and \dfnwid %% %% END CONFIGURATION - PAPERSIZE DEFINITIONS %% %% %% values to be computed - nothing to configure %% \newdimen\fullhsize % width of area without margins \newdimen\itmwid % width of item column \newdimen\dfnwid % width of definition column \newdimen\temp % only for temporary use %% %% adjust the offsets so the margins are measured *from paper edge* %% \hoffset=-1in \advance \hoffset by \hmargin \voffset=-1in \advance \voffset by \vmargin %% %% fullhsize = totalwidth - (2 * hmargin) %% \fullhsize=\totalwidth \temp=\hmargin \multiply \temp by 2 \advance \fullhsize by -\temp %% %% hsize = (fullhsize - (4 * hmargin) - (2 * barwidth)) / 3 %% \hsize=\fullhsize \temp=\hmargin \multiply \temp by 4 \advance \hsize by -\temp \temp=\barwidth \multiply \temp by 2 \advance \hsize by -\temp \divide \hsize by 3 %% %% vsize = totalheight - (2 * vmargin) %% \vsize=\totalheight \temp=\vmargin \multiply \temp by 2 \advance \vsize by -\temp %% %% itmwid = (hsize - intersecwidth) * 1/3 %% dfnwid = (hsize - intersecwidth) * 2/3 %% \temp=\hsize \advance \temp by -\intersecwidth \divide \temp by 3 \itmwid=\temp \dfnwid=\hsize \advance \dfnwid by -\itmwid %-------- end papersize defs \def\fulline{\hbox to \fullhsize} \let\lcr=L \newbox\leftcolumn\newbox\centercolumn \output={\if L\lcr \global\setbox\leftcolumn=\columnbox \global\let\lcr=C \else \if C\lcr \global\setbox\centercolumn=\columnbox \global\let\lcr=R \else \tripleformat \global\let\lcr=L \fi \fi % \ifnum\outputpenalty>-20000 \else\dosupereject\fi } %% %% START CONFIGURATION - ALTERNATIVE FOLDING GUIDES %% %% 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} %% %% END CONFIGURATION - ALTERNATIVES FOR FOLDING GUIDES %% \def\tripleformat{\shipout\vbox{\fulline{\box\leftcolumn\vdecor \box\centercolumn\vdecor \columnbox} } \advancepageno} \def\columnbox{\leftline{\pagebody}} \def\bye{\par\vfill \supereject \if R\lcr \null\vfill\eject\fi \end} %-------------------- end three column format ----------------------- %-------------------- Computer Modern font defs: -------------------- \font\bbf=cmbx10 \font\vbbf=cmbx12 \font\smrm=cmr6 \font\brm=cmr10 \font\rm=cmr7 \font\it=cmti7 \font\tt=cmtt8 %-------------------- end font defs --------------------------------- % \hyphenpenalty=5000\tolerance=2000\raggedright\raggedbottom \normalbaselineskip=9pt\baselineskip=9pt % \parindent=0pt \parskip=0pt \footline={\vbox to0pt{\hss}} % \def\ctl#1{{\tt C-#1}} \def\opt#1{{\brm[{\rm #1}]}} \def\xtra#1{\noalign{\smallskip{\tt#1}}} % \long\def\sec#1;#2\endsec{\vskip \secskip \halign{% %COL 1 (of halign): \vtop{\hsize=\itmwid\tt ##\par\vskip \lskip }\hfil %COL 2 (of halign): &\vtop{\hsize=\dfnwid\hangafter=1\hangindent=\intersecwidth \rm ##\par\vskip \lskip}\cr %Tail of \long\def fills in halign body with \sec args: \noalign{{\bbf #1}\vskip \lskip} #2 } } {\vbbf GDB QUICK REFERENCE}\hfil{\smrm GDB Version 4}\qquad \sec Essential Commands;
