I had a bit of trouble figuring out what the options did, as might others. I therefore wrote the following, which could be added to the web page or in the readme here on GitHub (or both). Hope it helps :)
Domino Options
Print Options
-
Randomize Domino Order: TBA: see issue.
-
Scale Verification: Add a series of blocks that can be measured once printed, to ensure your printer is scaling accurately (warning: this option uses a lot of printer ink).
-
Domino Values: Currently unused (not checkable).
-
Margin Bounding Box: Add a printed box at the margins you defined. This might help you to see if your printer is cutting off details at the margins, or you can use it to check that your printer is printing at 100% scale.
-
Radius Corners: Add radius to the corners of the dominoes, as is found on the tape.
-
Download File: Download the generated file directly, rather than viewing it first in your browser.
-
Save Values as Defaults: This will save the options you have selected, so that you can use them again next time (saves a cookie on our computer, which your browser uses).
Scale Correction Options
These options help you compensate for any errors in your printer's scaling. They automatically generate a file that takes the scaling errors into account. You can measure anything on the printed output whose correct size you already know in the file: for example, you can measure the margin bounding box, or use the Scale Verification option to generate printed blocks that you can measure.
-
Stated X-Value: The correct height of something in the file — for example, a scale verification-block or a margin-bounding box.
-
Measured X-Value: The incorrect height of the same object, as measured after printing.
-
Stated Y-Value: The correct width of something in the file — for example, a scale verification-block or a margin-bounding box.
-
Measured Y-Value: The incorrect width of the same object, as measured after printing.
(If you have problems with these options, you may need to adjust your printer rotation settings or switch the X-Values and Y-Values.)
