      <title>Overview</title>

      <para>The check format file is used to tell &app; how to print a check or checks onto a page of paper.
        This file first describes the overall layout of a page (number of checks, orientation, etc)
        and then describes the layout of the specific items on a single check. The file is organized
        as a typical Key/Value file used by many &lin; applications. Keys/values pairs are grouped
        into sections that begin with the group name enclosed in square brackets.
      </para>

      <para>&app; looks for check format files in two different locations when you bring up the check printing
        dialog. The first location is typically
        <filename class="directory">/usr/share/gnucash/checks</filename>, where check files
        distributed with the application can be found. The second location is the user private
        <filename class="directory">&dir-data;checks</filename>
        <footnote id="dir-old-chk">
          <para>Up to &app; 2.6.21 it was <filename class="directory">&dir-old;checks</filename>
          </para>
        </footnote>
        directory. Users may add check formats at any time (even while &app; is running) simply by
        dropping a new <filename>*.chk</filename> file in this directory. The next time the check
        printing dialog is opened the new check format will appear in the list of available check
        formats.
      </para>

      <note>
        <para>Printing functions differently depending on the version of GTK that is installed on your system.
          When &app; is using a version of GTK prior to 2.10 all offsets are measured from the lower
          left corner of the page or check. When using GTK 2.10 or later, all offsets are measured
          from the upper left corner of the page or check.

                  This value specified the rotation of the entire page (in degrees) around the
                  origin point. For gtk versions prior to 2.10, the origin point is in the lower
                  left corner of the page and rotation values increase in the counter-clockwise
                  direction. For gtk version 2.10 and later, the origin point is in the upper left
                  corner of the page and rotation values increase in the clockwise direction.
                  Rotation of the page is applied before translation.

                  in the lower left corner of the page and translation values increase moving up and
                  to the right. For gtk version 2.10 and later, the origin point is in the upper
                  left corner of the page and translation values increase moving down and to the
                  right. Rotation of the page is applied before translation.

        <title>Check Items Group</title>

        <para>This section specifies the individual items that are printed on the check. There is no limit to the
          number of items that may be present in this section, and any given type of item can be
          repeated multiple times. This allows for the printing of checks that have a side stub, or
          for the one-per-page business checks that have both the check and multiple check stubs on
          the same page. For example, to print the payee name on a business check and on both stubs,
          simply specify three payee items with differing print coordinates.
        </para>

        <para>Each key names in this section explicitly includes the item number to which it applies. E.G. The key
          named <guilabel>Type_1</guilabel> applies to the first item to be printed, and the key
          <guilabel>Coords_3</guilabel> applies to the third item to be printed. Item numbers start
          at one and increase sequentially. Any gap in the numbering sequence is interpreted by
          &app; as the end of the item list. Items are printed in the order of their item numbers,
          not in the order in which they appear in the file.
        </para>

        <para>Each item specified must include a type declaration. The rest of the parameters for that item depend
          upon the particular type of that item. See <xref linkend="check_table_types"></xref> for a

                  This field specifies the coordinates where the item should be placed on a check,
                  and optionally also specifies the width and height of the item. The numbers in
                  order are the X and Y offset of the lower left corner of the item, and optionally
                  the width and height of the item. If the width is supplied then the height must
                  also be supplied, so this field will always contain two or four numbers. For gtk
                  versions prior to 2.10, the origin point is in the lower left corner of the page
                  and translation values increase moving up and to the right. For gtk version 2.10
                  and later, the origin point is in the upper left corner of the page and
                  translation values increase moving down and to the right.
                  <note>
                    <para>Regardless of whether the origin is at the top or the bottom of the page, the coordinates always

          <para>SPLIT items include all split entries for the transaction except for the split that applies to the
            current account register (referred to as the anchor-split). This is usually the last
            split listed when splits are displayed in the register. The coordinate location defines
            the lower left location for the split information.

      <title>Creating Check Format Files</title>

      <para>Creating your own check format file is a fairly simple task. The easiest way to start is to copy an
        existing check format file from the application directory (typically
        <filename class="directory">/usr/share/gnucash/checks</filename>) to the directory
        <filename class="directory">&dir-data;checks</filename><footnoteref linkend="dir-old-chk" />.
        Make sure to change the guid so the new file will be accepted by gnucash, and change the
        title to something descriptive. Then change or add individual item fields as necessary. You
        can also create a new check file by clicking the <guibutton>Save Format</guibutton> button
        on the <guilabel>Custom format</guilabel> page of the check printing dialog.
      </para>

      <note>
        <para>Key names are case sensitive. If you are having problems with a check format file, ensure that all
          key names have capital letters as documented above.
