The opt Command (Advanced)

There is an opt command that can be included in a table/grid definition, to override default settings. The opt(ions) command should be the first entry in the table/grid definition.

eg.

tablec(opt(w=25;m=4)1&&2&&3\\4&&5&&6)

The opt command can contain the following options (separated by semicolons).

Minimum size options

w=40                Sets the minimum width of columns, in millimetres.

h=25                Sets the minimum height of rows, in millimetres.

Margin options

l=5                Sets the left margin for cells, in millimetres.

r=7                Sets the right margin for cells, in millimetres.

t=10                Sets the top margin for cells, in millimetres.

b=3                Sets the bottom margin for cells, in millimetres.

Special margin option

m=7                This special command sets ALL margins of cells in the table, in millimetres.

opt(m=7) is equivalent to opt(l=7;r=7;t=7;b=7)
