Decorative Borders & Corners
With BA you can use decorative edges and corners in pedigrees and other printed documents. You can use these in two different ways:
Around the edge of the printed page - as in most of the examples you see here.
and/or, individually around each box within a pedigree (or other document). The portrait pedigree sample above shows this - custom edges used above and below the heading box;
BA is supplied with a range of standard styles, including various sample graphics and motifs. All the graphics for the samples you see on this web site are included with the program. You can - of course - use your own graphics too. Here are some sample corner styles included with the product:

When you set up a border in BA, you can individually control each corner and side of the area being framed - be it the whole page or a box within the page.
For the edges you can choose between various line styles or you might used a tiled graphic - e.g. to have paw prints running round all edges. Corner graphics can also be used for that extra panache. Use of classic decorative borders with pedigree certificates gives a very professional result. BA is supplied with a range of pedigree layouts called 'Copperplate' that include decorative borders in conjunction with calligraphic text to create superb printed certificates.
But its not just pedigrees. You can use borders like these with most printed documents. E.g. you can include them on sale contracts, mating agreements, stud cards etc.
To set the border of a document, first display it in the main window, then select Form Properties from the Form menu, click the Page Border tab and select from the various options.
