Big flowcharts

Big flowcharts

[Willi Egger]

Hi all,

Tonight I tried  to compile a cluple of flowcharts. Some of them are quite
long and or long and broad.
While there is no error message I am not happy with the splitting results.
Either already on the second or on the third page of the chart, the chart
changes in terms of size of the shapes (larger) and it shifts to the right.
It happens, that the repeated row is correctly typeset at the end of the
previous page, but runs of the right margin on the first row of the new
page.

I use the following setup:

\setupFLOWcharts
   [x=1,
    y=1,
    nx= 4,
    ny= 6,
    dx=2\bodyfontsize,
    dy=2\bodyfontsize,
    width=12\bodyfontsize,
    height=7\bodyfontsize,
    maxheight=\textheight]

\setupFLOWsplit
 [x=1,
  y=1,
  nx=4,
  ny=6,
  dx=1,
  dy=1,
  before=,
  after=\page,
  marking=off]

I tried already to delete all temporary and supportfiles, but the final
result is always the same.
The effects are even more pronounced in the screen-version.

What is wrong? Greetings Willi

You have set "maxheight" which means that the autoscaler comes into action.
Just don't set the maxheight and set the width/height of the cells or the
font size to an acceptable dimension and you will get all charts in the
same scaling.
