Board Diagrams

If you have eXtremeGammon, then including an XGID of each position means we can generate diagrams in the house style very quickly. We use bglog.org with the following settings:

• Settings / toggle bear off = to right
• Settings / Checker size = 35
• Settings / Border width = medium
• Settings / Themes = Minstrels
• Settings / Visual effects = Taki points
• Settings / Visual effects = Checker highights
• Settings / Visual effects = 3D effects
• Settings / Colors / Checker colors / Our checkers = Blue
• Settings / Colors / Checker colors / Their checkers = Black
• Settings / Off-board data / Show point numbers, Chicago Point style
• Settings / Off-board data / Show GNUbg/XG IDs = On
• Settings / Off-board data / Show turn indicator = Off
• Settings / Off-board data / Show score = On

Once you have set up the position, select Edit / Snapshot, and save the generated image for further use.
