How to use custom label types?

I have Avery 6572 labels. I have created a types.yaml file containing this information:

Avery6572:
paper_size: LETTER
top_margin: 36
bottom_margin: 36
left_margin: 9
right_margin: 9
columns: 3
rows: 5
column_gutter: 9
row_gutter: 0

Unfortunately, prawn-labels isn't picking up the types.yaml file in my local directory. How can I use this label definition? Do I need to modify a system-wide file instead?

Hey Jack,

Yeah that is something I've never been too happy about with prawn-labels. The best way to get your new type in the gem is to shoot over a pull request and I'll merge it and push a new version.

Otherwise you'll have to modify the installed gem which isn't great.

I will add my information to the gem's types.yaml file and send you a pull request.

I can also write some code that will check for a types.yaml in the current directory which can be imported after the system-level file, and send you a pull request for that later.

Thanks!

Jack.
