GoKnot boards have many configurable options. This page explains the options available at the board options dialog that shows up when you press <Ctrl>+<B> (or select "Options/Board options"). If you want to create your own textures, continue to this page.


The board options dialog


    These are the options available at the board options dialog:




    Min/max grid step: These two options are only important to create bitmaps for publishing. When you export gobans to .bmp or .jpeg files, setting these parameters, you can produce precise bitmap sizes. The default values let the goban resize automatically to the available area, as long as the resulting cell size is between 6 and 250 (pixels per board cell).

    Color options: You may select four colors as specified.

    Grid width: The option "auto" draws with "thin line" in small boards and "thick line" in big ones.

    Board images, shadow, territory map style and move numbers: These options select appearance issues. Try them!

    Smooth repaint: This option produces improved visual experience at the price of some extra RAM. The gobans are rendered to a memory buffer instead of to the screen. The screen is updated only when the picture is finished.

    Display symbols and labels: Viewing symbols and labels may be disabled.

    One symbol per cell: Verifies if more than one of the following items: the last stone marker, a symbol or a number are drawn in the same cell. If true, only the highest priority symbol is drawn, as explained here.
