On 30 Nov 2002 placemats switched from being artisanal to being industrial. This design echoes the final attempt at hand-crafted non-industrial placemats.

First use of the one-circle page type (issue 162). This doesn’t appear in the final PDF; it appears in a temporary PDF used to make the GIF animation.

The tasting-note sheets include a reminder of food choice, as requested by AHB and discussed in issue 163.

Recent changes in the default value of parameters: CrossHatchingNumRadialLines to 80 (⟹ the radial lines are 4½° apart, rather than the previous 2°); and CrossHatchingCellArea increased by a factor of ≈2.6× to 1296 pt² = (½″)² = (12.7mm)². (Since its introduction in July 2016, and first use in Nov 2016, CrossHatchingCellArea has had several default values.)

The first use of ArcAccurate: explanation at issue 164 and comp.lang.postscript.

◊ 26 Apr 2022 Semi-sighted www.jdawiseman.com/2022/20220426_emergency_semi.pdf Food Planning

Originally planned to be a Poças tasting; but access to those bottles lost. Instead attendees invited to reveal exactly one of shipper and year, as well as type and bottle size. Fonts /Optima-Regular and /Didot-Bold. Also /NeckTagsNumCopies {Belowtitles WithinTitles get ASCIIfy (JDAW) eq {0} {1} ifelse} def.

One consequent issue: #161 = BottleWrap: new page type.

The Big Fortified Tasting is an annual trade fair for fortified wine. The 2022 show (guide) was held on Thursday 31^st March 2022 at Church House, Westminster SW1P  3NZ. Such trade fairs typically include some masterclasses: at BFT 2022 The Magic of Ageing masterclass was given by André Barbosa of Poças; and The Iconic Madeira Wine Varieties by Rubina Vieira of the Madeira trade association, the Instituto Do Vinho, Do Bordado E Do Artesanato Da Madeira.

For the Madeira placemat I had suggested five on A4, arranged 2‑2‑1 = as was used on 25 Sep 2013, so that the two ’96s were adjacent. Much more elegant was Alex’s suggested pattern for A3, as used.

Some ordinary PostScript fiddliness — but observe the interaction between HeadersRight and PageOrdering… — and then the messiness of including images.

The theme being ‘8’s, the placemats were laden with eight-pointed stars, octagons, and ±8° from horizontal. Upon reflection, maybe it was a bit childish.

Rotation algorithm: 8°; take the WithinTitles element of Titles; ASCIIfy to remove kerning instructions and other non-text; extract decade digit; iff even then neg the 8°.

◊ 16 June 2014 1997 Maturity Evaluation Review Param’s Planning www.jdawiseman.com/2014/20140616_1997s.pdf

Lots of complicated parameters, available in full from the Param’s post.

Much faffing with margins, so that those on the glasses sheet are different, MarginB being large.

/FlightSeparations true def, and, even more unusually, with /FlightSeparationPaintSeparately true def. The first three items of FlightSeparationLines define /Closed paths, used by FlightSeparationPaintCode (“FlightSeparationLineNum 0 eq”, then 1, then 2) as clipping regions. Decorative lines, very thin, are painted. The remainder of FlightSeparationLines defines the boundary paths. FlightSeparationPaintCode does nothing with these until the last one, so these are in effect not …PaintSeparately’d. And that last item paints a thick black line inside a gsave … grestore, and then a less thick white line. The setlinecaps avoid bleed.

There is a broader lesson from these complicated parameters. The program is written in PostScript, and is structured to allow, perhaps even encourage, code injection. In almost all parameters the user has full access to the whole of PostScript, and to the values of the variables maintained by the code. E.g., FlightSeparationLineNum is there to be used. That gives great power, but full access to that power requires being able to use PostScript.

◊ 03 June 2014 Blind 1958s for Oscar Quevedo Review Param’s Planning www.jdawiseman.com/2014/20140603_1958_OJMQ.pdf

The most useful lesson from this tasting might be the explanation of the blinding technique.

In October 2014 the decanter labels were reparameterised and recoded: this layout of decanter labels is no longer achievable.

◊ 14 May 2014 Requested by Oscar Quevedo Param’s www.jdawiseman.com/2014/20140514_quevedo.pdf

/ShrinkRadii [ 0 0 1 ] def and /MaxRadius 180 def to have larger table-wine glasses.

/InlineTitles {WithinTitles 9 le} def for the differential patterning.

Temporarily, /EmptyGlassesPageAtStart true def, just to make this image which was used here. Image having been made, EmptyGlassesPageAtStart was reverted to false to make the printed and retained PDF.

Also, after the tasting, the first use of GlassesAnnotations.

This gave the tightest packing. Does it suggest a need for a new parameter that automatically does a tight-packing optimisation? Hmm. Maybe. (Edit: done, as CircletextsTweakSize.)

Also, the first use of FontSizesTitlesEquivalences. Fonts: /Garamond-Bold and /GillSansMT-Condensed.
