Post_Rate. Version 1.00.
About Post_Rate.
Post_Rate contains three diagrams plus a title which when printed out
and pasted together will make a poster, about A2 in size, illustrating
the affects of temperature, surface area and concentration on the
rates of reaction. The pictures are coloured and there is also a short
written summary for each picture.
About the Draw Files.
Picutre Files
In this directory are 4 Draw files. In order to view these files you
must have the Draw icon on the icon bar. The Draw files are called
Concentr, Surface, Temperat1 and Title. The first three files
illustrate the effects of increasing concentration (Concentr), surface
area (Surface) and temperature (Temperat1) on the rate of reaction.
The final file, Title, has been done to allow a large title to be
printed. The pictures are in colour, green and blue for the particles,
black lines showing particle movement and red impact/reaction flashes.
The text is in black. The three picture files have a similar format.
Each picture, including text, will fit onto a piece of paper which is
A4 wide and A3 long. They are intened to be displayed length ways
(portrait).
Title.
The title file contains a banner type title which is nearly 64 cm
long, slightly longer than 2 sheets of A4. As this will have to be
trimmed after printing, I have put dotted red lines around it to
indicate the cutting lines. You may wish to delete these from the
drawing before printing.
LookAtMe
This draw file gives you an outline shape of how the poster will look
after you have pasted everything together. It also contains a few
tips.
The Text.
All the text, including the title, has been done using a utility
supplied with Computer Concepts document processor 'Impression'. The
utility called 'FontDraw' allows text to be typed in, using an outline
font, and converts it to a Draw file. Consequently if you want to
alter any of the wording of the text you will need to re-type your own
text. Using the method I have chosen, however. means that you do not
need the outline font mamnager.
Altering The Pictures.
These diagrams are copyright free and you may alter them in any way
you want to, however, please see the copyright notice in 'ReadMe1'. I
have saved the files as 'select' saves, consequently you can change
any of the colours, sizes, text or positioning. This includes reducing
the diagrams so they fit onto a sheet of A4 or less.
Printing & Printer Drivers.
During test runs I have used an Integrex Colourjet 132 printer, and
also a 9 pin dot matrix black and white printer. The pictures have
been arranged so that the positioning is correct for the trial print
outs. You, however, may have to either reset you printer or
re-position the drawings.
Paper Size & Margin Settings.
Go to the Page size option of the printer driver menu and then for:
Files called Concentr, Surface and Temperat1 the page height should be
adjusted to 420mm (this is the page hieght of a portrait A3 page) and the
margin settings should be reduced to 0mm.
Printer Drivers.
I have used the standard Acorn printer drivers, PrinterDM version 1.12
and PrinterIx version 1.12. However, I have reduced the margins on the
page setting option to 0.00 mm before printing. I also altered the
page height to 700 mm.
I hope this is of some use to you. If you have any comments please let
me know.
