Worksheet settings

A worksheet’s settings are at the top of its file, between --- lines, as key: value (YAML). Every one is optional, and most are set from the Format menu. A result. setting is written below result::

---
title: Beam B1
result:
  significant: 3
header: {right: "Page {page} of {pages}"}
---

Setting	Default	What it does
title	the file’s name	The worksheet’s title, {title} in a header or footer.
page	A4	The page size, A4 or letter, with ¾ inch margins.
header	none	Text in the top margin of every page: header: Calculation 12 (centred), or header: {left: "{title}", centre: …, right: "Page {page} of {pages}"}. The fields are {page}, {pages}, {title} and {date}.
footer	none	Text in the bottom margin of every page, as header.
single_page_width	false	true: printing and PDF export leave out what is past the right margin, rather than printing it on extra pages (File → Print single page width).
result.decimals	3	Decimal places shown in results.
result.significant	none	Significant figures shown instead of decimal places.
result.strict	false	With significant: round digits left of the decimal point too (1234.567 to 3 figures is 1230, not 1235).
result.trailing_zeros	false	With decimals: pad results to the full number of places.
result.exponential_threshold	6	Numbers of 10ⁿ or more, or below 10⁻ⁿ, are shown with an exponent.
result.zero_threshold	15	Values below 10⁻ⁿ show as 0.
result.complex_threshold	10	A real or imaginary part smaller than 10⁻ⁿ of the other is hidden.
result.prefixes	true	Engineering prefixes on results with no unit asked for (54 kN·m); false turns them off.
multiplication	dot	How * is drawn: dot (a·b) or space (a b) (Format → Multiplication).
origin	0	The first index of arrays, the starting value of ORIGIN.
tolerance	1e-3	The starting value of TOL, used by the solvers and by comparisons (==, <, …).
angle	none	dimension makes angle a dimension of its own, with rad its unit (Format → Units).
angle_display	deg	With angle: dimension, how an angle shows when no unit is asked for: deg or rad.
currency	none	A currency dimension whose unit has this name, such as AUD or € (Format → Units).
beermat	1	The version of the file format, written by Beermat.
results		A fingerprint of the sheet when its results were saved, written by Beermat, so that results left over from an older version of the sheet aren’t shown.
