Style Layout

Introduction

A Style Layout document contains a collection of styles describing the graphical characteristics of texts in documents.

The binding of a Style to a Receipt Part is performed directly in the Receipt Layout document.

File extension for Receipt Layout is: .utds

Structure

The Style Layout is an XML document with the following structure

Level	Node Name	Node Value(s)	Notes
0	StyleLayout		Root Node
1	Styles		Collection of Styles
2	Style		Style Definition
3	Name	<string>	Name of the style. This is the name to be used to refer this style
3	Inherits	<string>	Name of the style from which all values will be copied. The values present in this style will of course override the inherited ones. The values not present will maintain the inherited values. The inherited style must be defined previously.
3	Align	left right center justified	Alignment of the text. If “justified” is not supported by the hardware it will be treated as “left”
3	Font		Font Characteristics
4	Name	<string>	Font Name Font names are often “hardware-specific”. For example the font names in Esc-Pos are identified by a letter (usually from A to E)
4	Height	<integer>	Height of a character (hardware-specific)
4	Width	<integer>	Width of a character (hardware-specific)
4	Attributes	bold italic underlined	Attributes to be applied to the font. It is possible to specify multiple values, separating each value by a comma.
4	Color	black white	Color of the character. If the color is “white”, the background will be black (and viceversa)
