Zone Combiner Height and Width

The initial height and width of the zone combiner dialog can be specified in pixels.  If not specified, the height/width is set to 80% of the available display space.

ZoneCombiner_height = 400
ZoneCombiner_width = 400

 

Zone Combiner Background Color

The background color for the zone combiner is 'gray40', unless overridden by a gfe configuration entry.  The background color is used for areas outside of the map background.

ZoneCombiner_backgroundColor = 'gray40'


Zone Combiner NoZone Color

The NoZone color for the zone combiner is 'black', unless overridden by a gfe configuration entry.  The no zone color is used to indicate those zones which are not included within the combinations file at all; i.e., products will not be formatted for this area.

ZoneCombiner_noZoneColor = 'black'

Processor Mode

Default setting for the  Processor Mode.  Options are "Server" and "Local".  It is recommended that "Server" be used for better performance on the GFE.

FormatterLauncherDialog_Processor = "Server"





 Product Output Dialog Font, Background and Foreground Colors

Controls the font and colors in the Product Output Dialog.

ProductOutputDialog_font = "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-*-sans-14-*"
ProductOutputDialog_fgColor = "#000000"
ProductOutputDialog_bgColor = "#d0d0d0"



Product Output Dialog Wrap Mode and Wrap Length, Wrap Mode by Products

Controls the default setting of the wrap mode, and the default wrap length.  The default setting of the wrap mode only applies if the product is not found in the list of "wrapPils" and "nonWrapPils".

ProductOutputDialog_wrapMode = 0  #0=off, 1=on
ProductOutputDialog_wrapSize = 66

 In addition to the default wrap mode, a specific wrap mode may be set based on the product's pil category ("NNN").  There are two lists in the gfe configuration file, one that defines the product pils that should have wrap mode enabled, and one with word wrap disabled.

ProductOutputDialog_wrapPils = ['ZFP','CWF']
ProductOutputDialog_nonWrapPils = ['AFM','PFM','FWF']

Product Output Text Lock Color

Sets the product editor text lock color.  Defaults to blue.

ProductOutputDialog_lockColor = 'blue'


 Product Output Text Framing Color

Sets the product editor text framing color.  This is the color used to denote the range of text between the framing characters.  Defaults to red.

ProductOutputDialog_frameColor = 'red'

Product Output Text Insert Color

Sets the product editor text insert color.  This is the color that indicates the end of the headline, and where text may be inserted to modify the headline.

ProductOutputDialog_insertColor = 'cyan'

Zone Combiner - Label Zones

Sets the default initial state for the zone combiner.  If enabled, then the zone names will be labeled on the zone combiner map. 0 for disabled, 1 for enabled.

ZoneCombiner_LabelZones = 0


Zone Combiner - Label Groups

Sets the default initial state for the zone combiner.  If enabled, then the zone group numbers will be shown on the zone combiner map. 0 for disabled, 1 for enabled.

ZoneCombiner_LabelGroups = 1



 Product Editor Directory

The Product Editor Directory configuration is used with the Formatter Launcher's Product Editor.   When the user presses the "Save File..." button, the default value appearing in the Save File dialog is one of several items:

1) If the product definition contains Definition['outputFile'], then that value is used in the Save File Dialog as the default.

2) If the product definition does not contain Definition['outputFile'], then the software will use the value defined in the ProductEditorDirectory for the initial directory opened in the file browser.

3) If the product definition does not contain Definition['outputFile'] and ProductEditorDirectory is not defined in the gfe configuration file, then the default is {prddir}, which is defined as the .../products directory.

The default value for ProductEditorDirectory is not defined in the configuration file.

ProductEditorDirectory = "/tmp"

Call To Action Dialog Height and Width

The initial height and width of the Call To Action dialog can be specified in pixels.  If not specified, the height/width is set to the default values show below.

ProductOutputDialog_CTAWidth = 575
ProductOutputDialog_CTAHeight = 300
