[Build] Full-page labels for the workshop

[Henner Zeller]

Hi,
I was thinking about the labeling-situation for boxes and shelves in
the workshop and how to minimize the hassle creating them. Ideally, we
want some laminated labels and font should be as large as possible to
be able to quickly see things even from afar.

So I wrote  a little postscript-program to create full-page labels
without much effort. Just given a word (or words, possibly separated
by newline), it maximizes the font-size to fit into that page, so no
manual fiddling needed.

Looks a bit like this:

Code is here:

Pretty self-explanatory: Just download and at the end of the file,
just add new words for which to print labels, send to the printer and
done (You can watch how it looks by for instance using okular as a
viewer).

Say we want to print a page with 'Paint' printed on it; just append
the following:

%%Page:
(Paint) show-max

This can be good for the workshop, room-labels, warning labels,
project name labels etc.

I have a lamination machine at home, so if anyone prints some labels
for the workshop on letter paper, I'll take them home and laminate
them, so that we have nice, sturdy, permanent-ish labels that we can
stick to boxes and shelves.

Cheers,
  Henner.
