Size Records

Size records are used for one purpose only, to allow OpenHoldem’s auto-connector to find windows of the correct size. More specifically, they provide the ability to specify the accepted sizes for the casino table that the scraper engine will recognize.

Upon connection OpenHoldem will look for poker table windows that are between the clientsizemin and clientsizemax sizes. Thereafter it will use targetsize to resize the table one time after connection to the preferred size (if resizing is needed at all).

To create a new size record, select the “Sizes” category in the record tree display on the Table Map Editor window, and click the “New” button. A window will be displayed that allows you to enter the width and height parameters for this new record. To edit an existing size record, select the record in the record tree display on the Table Map Editor window, and click the “Edit” button. A window will be displayed that allows you to adjust the width and height parameters for this record, or change the record name itself. To delete an existing size record, select the record in the record tree display on the Table Map Editor window, and click the “Delete” button. A window will be displayed asking for verification of this action.

A note about window client sizes: Microsoft Windows provides several different measures of a windows’ size, such as the complete window including frame and title bar, and an altogether different measure, the so-called “client area”, that lies inside the window frame and excludes frames and title bars. OpenHoldem references the Microsoft “client area” measurement for these “Size” records. To help you understand the size of the poker window that you have attached to (with the Green Circle Button), OpenScrape always displays the client size of the attached poker table in the “View” menu on the main OpenScrape window. The menu option is at the bottom of this menu and is preceeded by “Current Size: “. The width and height displayed in this menu can be entered directly into a clientsize record.

In the Table Map (.tm) file, the size records will be preceded with the characters “z$”. These records have the following format:

<name> is the name of the record (see table below) <width> and <height> are integer values.

Valid size records and their descriptions:

Size record	Description
clientsizemin	Specifies the minimum allowed client size of the poker table window.
clientsizemax	Specifies the maximum allowed client size of the poker table window.
targetsize	Specifies the optimal size of the poker table window. If this parameter gets used the table will be resized once after connection to match the perfect size.
