The first diagram reflects the default: the first column is for \west,
full names are shown, the alignment is \textbf{c} and the long form is
used: The lowercase |p| yields \Xfer{p} and an uppercase |P| yields
\Xfer{P}. |X| yields \Xfer{X} and |R| yields \Xfer{R}. One can use
'mixed-mode' for the entries in the table: both the abreviation |C| or the
command |\Cl| for clubs are possible. \OneDown takes care of the spacing
between the rank and the nomination, so you do not have to fiddle around
with |\thinspace|, |\,| or the like.
In the second diagram we use the short form of the non-bid calls, by
calling |\setdefaults{bidlong=off}|.
The alignment is \textbf{t} and we have put \north in the first column.
Please observe that the change to |bidfirst=N| is made local by the
surrounding |{...}|
In the third diagram we also use the short form for the table header by
calling the bidding table with the token |!|. The alignment is \textbf{b}.
In the first example we also added an |\alert| and an |\announce|, just to
show their layout.

We now show bidding diagrams with the real names of the players. In every
of the four diagrams we have a different first column. Please observe that
the association of the individuals with the \north, \east etc.\
direction is preserved.

Here we show the bidding diagram for only 2 bidders, with 4 different first
columns. Observe that also here the real names stay in connection with
their directions.

The next example shows how one can put a marker to a call with |\markit|
and refer to it with by calling |\explainit|.
These explanations must appear in the
optional argument of the bidding table. You yourself are responsible that
the order in which they appear corresponds with the order of the markers.
The explanations are typeset like a footnote mechanism below the table and
they will never extend beyond the right edge of the table, as you can see
in the 2nd diagram. The width in a biddingpair table is even more limited,
that's the reason why we use raggedright to obtain a result that is
typographically acceptable. The last diagram shows that we can get an
annotation without the need for |\markit| or |\explainit|.
\vfill

In this examples we'll change some fonts to see what it accomplishes.\\
By default the bidderfont is |\mdseries\sffamily| and the namefont is
|\mdseries\slshape|, as you can clearly see in the header of the bidding
diagram.
\begin{itemize}[itemsep=0em]
\item |\gamefont{...\Large}| enlarges everything, also where other fonts are
active, e.g.\ in the header. (1st diagram)
\item |\scalefont| scales all fonts, not only the |\gamefont|
controlled stuff. (2nd diagram)
\item If you change only the \emph{size} of e.g.\ the |\namefont|,
without giving a font description, you 'lose the font' and the current font
will be used instead of |namefont|. In diagrams most of the time this will
be the |gamefont|. (3rd diagram)
\end{itemize}
We also used |\setdefaults{bidline=1}| to separate the header of the
bidding table from the bidding sequence with a |\hline|.

\begin{HBox}{Same but with changed font\hfill File: \FileName}

Normally one uses shorthands in bidding tables. We already showed that one
can use macros calls like |\Cl|. If a macro uses tokens, or if a shorthand
appears as argument of another macro, one has to be careful. Note that the
first entry (|\frame{2H}|) of row 2 does not produce the correct result,
but |{\frame{2\He}}| does: We have to enclose these specials in braces
(|{...}|) and not use the shorthand notation.
