General ⇒ lstlisting and padding

[eleanor]

Hi, I have a problem with using lstlisting. Well, there is too much padding (space between the border and the text) there:

http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/css_padding.asp (just to make sure that we're on the same page about what I'm talking about).

I want to minimize this padding to 2pt (or some other number). Do you have any idea how would I do that?

Take a look at Section 4.10 (Margins and line shape, p. 33f) and Section 4.11 (Frames, p. 34ff) of the listings manual.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hi, I've tried most of the options listed there but without the effect, here's the lstset that I'm using:

Code: Select all

\lstset {
    language=c++,                  % language code
    basicstyle=\footnotesize,      % font size
    numbers=none,                  % where to put line numbers
    numberstyle=\footnotesize,     % numbers size
    numbersep=5pt,                 % how far the line numbers are from the code
    backgroundcolor=\color{white}, % background color
    showspaces=false,                          % show spaces (with underscores)
    showstringspaces=false,            % underline spaces within strings
    showtabs=false,                            % show tabs using underscores
    frame=single,                  % adds a frame around the code
    tabsize=4,                     % default tabsize
    breaklines=true,                  % automatic line breaking
    columns=fullflexible,
    breakautoindent=false,
    framerule=1pt,
    xleftmargin=0pt,
    xrightmargin=0pt,
    breakindent=0pt,
    resetmargins=true
}

Any ideas why it doesn't work?

Use options like framesep introduced in Section 4.11 of the manual.

Hi,

I don't know if the problem is solved but I encountered a similar issue and I solved it by writing \noindent before to include my listing.

I'm now encountering an other issue I can't solve. I have a listing side by side with an explanation. I use the minipage to display my boxes, I wrote something like this :

Code: Select all

\noindent
\begin{minipage}[t]{.43\linewidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
digraph aGraph { 
	some other code
}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\hspace{.02\linewidth}
\begin{minipage}[t]{.54\linewidth}
some text
\end{minipage}
\hfill

Everything is almost fine, but the base line of the listing is under the base line of the text and its looks ugly.

Here are my settings :

Code: Select all

\lstdefinelanguage{dot}{keywords={digraph, label, ....},sensitive=true}
\lstset{language=dot, caption={Graphviz}, label={listing:Graphviz}, basicstyle=\small, captionpos=b, aboveskip=0pt, frame=b, tabsize=2, framesep=0pt, framexbottommargin=8pt}

If I update \lstset and write "frame=tb" I get a line on the top ... and the base line is correct.
If I remove it, it goes wrong again. Like if a special framesep is added when no frame is used ?

I got a working solution by writing aboveskip=-8pt ... but I'm not satisfied with this hack.
Did I got wrong somewhere or did I missed an other parameter of the lstlisting package ?

Best Regards,
Pierre.
