Package listings: c&p (PDF -> Clipboard). This parameter also destroys the desired formatting. The description can be found on page 21: 2.10 Fixed and flexible columns. An unsatisfactory solution.

Folks, please keep the ball low until the document is ready.

This PDF is the superior showcase manual, a business card, if you will put it that way. With current PDF readers it is no problem to enlarge or reduce the pages as you like and much more. So the font size and the selected margins should not be a problem.

The document is already much looser designed and therefore easier to capture than comparable documents in the field. Nevertheless, the lines are already very long and thus more difficult to read. But a compromise had to be found so that the graphics and tables would not get lost. The lower area, which is called a hole here, is used to hold footnotes. There is no point in creating a document if it will not be read afterwards. It is not a common (lash up) office document and that is how it should stay.

If you want to print the current document, you should not use a printer driver to reduce it to A5. It is not designed for this, even if the font is 2 points larger. The sources are available to everyone, adapt them to your needs. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here.

When the document is finished, other formats can be created from the source, be it HTML, man pages or e-books.

Try the following (put it in settings.tex somewhere at the beginning)

% Set up the page layout
% memman.pdf capter 2: Laying out the page (READ IT!)
% example: memsty.sty
\settypeblocksize{8.75in}{34pc}{*}

If that is not enough because the margins don't fit your reading habits they can be cut off. With geometry YOU (!) get full control over the page. Use the following example instead of settypeblocksize:

\geometry{papersize={170mm,297mm},%
includehead,includemp,reversemp,%
marginparwidth=0em,%
vmargin={1.5mm,3mm},hmargin=2em}

Olaf, can you find a grid that doesn't leave the big white "hole" when scrolling the manual vertically on the monitor? In short, a layout suitable for reading on screen, more than for printing.

Answer to: Cinelerra-gg manual in latex: type area

Olaf — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 10:38:21 +0000

I had reset the document format to the standard dimensions of the document class, because the calculation of the type area is a delicate matter that requires extensive professional knowledge. Secondly, the type area is controlled by the document class and not by an external package.
Now another colleague asks* if it would not be better to set all margins to 2 cm. I now ask back: why?

--
* "Could be better all margins set to 20mm?"

@matn @all

We have solved the issue of authorship in such a way that all participants are now united under the abbreviation "The Cinelerra-GG Community". Excluded from this are contributions that have to be named for licensing reasons and the main author, who has been working on the manual for several years, honour to whom honour is due. This applies, as mentioned, to this page 3 (see the PDF above), which covers the legal aspect. If you want to be explicitly named as author, please contact us. These authors can be named as contributing authors, if everyone agrees. In the manual itself, occasional credits are inserted as footnotes at the appropriate place. Suggestions for improvement are gratefully acknowledged.

My name need not be in there as author, I'm fine with Phyllis

Now I think it is very good. Late tonight I will check it in and hopefully will have editing-img001.png fixed by then too (unfortunately, that and the raw.png I made were not the good quality that Andrea creates).

Today is not my day, but so that no boredom arises there is a handicraft solution at this place. I hope I have understood the remarks correctly and implemented them accordingly. Enclosed the TeX-file and page 3 as PDF preview.

I will come back to this later if necessary. My main concern is to take the expression of thanks to Hans and Franz out of the titles (of the sections) and place them somewhere else so that they do not appear in the table of contents.
