How does it work?

Document Settings

Compound Sheet

Normally you download memorization, recall and arbiter sheets as separate pdf files. With this parameter you get the option to download these sheets combined into one pdf file. For example, the option "Memorization + Recall Sheet" will create a pdf file with the recall sheet appended to the end of the memorization sheet.

Orientation

Paper orientation: Landscape or Portrait. Different disciplines have different default orientation (e.g. numbers = portrait, words = landscape).

"Example" Overlay

If True, put a big tilted and transparent "Example" string in the center of the document. This is useful if competition organizers want to hand out example sheets to competitors (which will be easy to distinguish from actual competition sheets, and minimize the risk of mixing-up papers).

Grid Lines Settings

These parameters creates a grid of lines on top of the memorization sheet in order to make the data more readable. Please have a look at the examples collected at the end of this page.

Grid Pattern

Most memory athletes group items together in chunks when memorizing. This parameter adds horizontal and vertical grid lines that encapsulates these chunk of data - in order to make them more readable. If left empty, no grid lines will be drawn. If non-empty, it must be a comma-separated sequence of positive numbers. For example, if you memorize numbers by grouping them into 2-digit numbers, then you want a Grid Pattern equal to "2".

After each integer, you may optionally specify a color. The syntax is "integer:color", where color is either the english name of the color, e.g. "blue" or a html color code, e.g. "#00FF00".

Please see the examples below to get a better overview.

Pattern Width

Many memory athletes memorize numbers one row at a time. This corresponds to Pattern Width = 1, which will make a horizontal line to be drawn between each row. Pattern Width = 2 will make a horizontal line between every second row. Note: If Grid Direction = Vertical, then the Pattern Width will be interpreted as where to draw vertical lines between columns instead.

Please see the examples below to get a better overview.

If Pattern Width is a negative number, it will have the same effect as the non-negative number, but no horizontal lines will be drawn.

Flip Horizontally

If True, the grid lines gets flipped horizontally. Everything else stays the same. This may be useful if you like to memorize by reading from the right to the left of the page.

Flip Vertically

If True, the grid lines gets flipped vertically. Everything else stays the same. This may be useful if you like to memorize by reading from the bottom to the top of the page.

Grid Line Width

Change the grid line's thickness. Higher value implies thicker lines.

Grid Line Color

Change line color. Default value is black. Enter the english name of the color, for example red, green, blue, etc. You can also select color by using html syntax, for example #00FF00 (which will make a green color).

Display Settings

Bold Font

If True, print digits, words, cards, etc. in bold font.

Examples

Example 1

Basic example of a Grid Pattern grouping the numbers into 2-digit chunks.

Option Value
Grid Pattern 2
Pattern Width 1
Grid Direction Horizontal

Example 2

Same as previous example but 3-digit chunks. Note that an incomplete chunk at the end of a row will be continued on next row.

Option Value
Grid Pattern 3
Pattern Width 1
Grid Direction Horizontal

Example 3

This example highlights that you can make the chunks have different length, repeated periodically according to the Grid Pattern.

Option Value
Grid Pattern 6, 3, 2
Pattern Width 1
Grid Direction Horizontal

Example 4

Same as previous example but where the second and third chunks are printed in red and blue color, respectively

Option Value
Grid Pattern 6, 3:red, 2:blue
Pattern Width 1
Grid Direction Horizontal

Example 5

Keeping the grid pattern from the previous example, we increment the pattern width by one and notice that the pattern chunks now spawns over two rows.

Option Value
Grid Pattern 6, 3:red, 2:blue
Pattern Width 2
Grid Direction Horizontal

Example 6

If you prefer to read from the right to the left, flip the grid horizontally.

Option Value
Grid Pattern 6, 3:red, 2:blue
Pattern Width 2
Grid Direction Horizontal
Flip Horizontally True

Example 7

In this example we make the Pattern Width negative, resulting in the exact same output as in the previous example but with no horizontal lines printed.

Option Value
Grid Pattern 6, 3:red, 2:blue
Pattern Width -2
Grid Direction Horizontal
Flip Horizontally True

Example 8

Example of a pattern with 3-digit cycle but 9-digit-color cycle.

Option Value
Grid Pattern 3:blue, 3:blue, 3:blue, 3, 3, 3
Pattern Width 1
Grid Direction Horizontal

Example 9

In this example we set the grid direction to vertical. The pattern will now go from top-to-bottom column-by-column.

Option Value
Grid Pattern 3:blue, 3:blue, 3:blue, 3, 3, 3
Pattern Width 1
Grid Direction Vertical

Example 10

By increasing the Pattern Width, we columns gets wider.

Option Value
Grid Pattern 3:blue, 3
Pattern Width 3
Grid Direction Vertical
