This adds the ability to turn off hat-test's normal scaling of the bounding box to fit on an A4 page, which I intended for printing test patches (but never actually found a need to print one). The --unscaled mode seems more useful if you're planning to turn the output into an image, e.g. to use as a desktop background. Also added --clip, which generates a rectangle completely covered in hats (i.e. shows any hat that overlaps the output rectangle at all), as opposed to the normal mode which omits any hat that doesn't fit _entirely_ in the output rectangle (more similar to what Loopy wants). Actually generating a desktop background by this method is still a bit fiddly to get right, but it's better than before.
This is the README accompanying the source code to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. The collection's web site is at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/>. The puzzle collection is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in the source directory: cmake . cmake --build . The manual is provided in Windows Help format for the Windows build; in text format for anyone who needs it; and in HTML for the Mac OS X application and for the web site. It is generated from a Halibut source file (puzzles.but), which is the preferred form for modification. To generate the manual in other formats, rebuild it, or learn about Halibut, visit the Halibut website at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
