Modify definition of thin, medium and thick rule thicknesses

[johnthelen]

Hello All. I'm defining a table via a tag file. When defining the cell rulings, I have the following options:

 

• thin
  
• medium
  
• thick
  

Does anyone know how to change the actual definition of those line thicknesses? We need the medium to be just a bit thinner but not as thin as "thin".

 

Thanks!

You can also specify "very thin" or "double" in FP Desktop. You can see the list of all available rulings in the <ruledefs> section of the DIF file.

 

If you're using FP Server, then you can use the DIF API to modify that list of rule definitions. But you're limited to that hard-coded list in the DIF file in FP Desktop.

Thanks Dan. I did notice that those definitions were in the DIF file and have in the past adjusted those through the API. I was hoping that this was a setting that could be defined at the desk-top level.

 

I appreciate your quick response!
