Large Print Splitter
Takes an image, printed height or width (in mm) and page size then splits image across multiple pages with alignment marks and generates a PDF.
It is intended for printing projections exported as SVGs from Openscad.
For the image it supports anything that Pillow supports, as well as SVGs thanks to CairoSVG.
PDF generation is done by ReportLab.
$ lps -h
usage: lps [-h] (--width WIDTH | --height HEIGHT) [--page_size PAGE_SIZE]
[--overlap OVERLAP] [--margins MARGINS] [--outfile OUTFILE]
[--svg_start_scale SVG_START_SCALE]
image_file
positional arguments:
image_file Image to parse
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--width WIDTH Width of image in millimeters
--height HEIGHT Height of image in millimeters
--page_size PAGE_SIZE
Page size, e.g. a3, a4
--overlap OVERLAP Print overlap in mm
--margins MARGINS Print margins in mm
--outfile OUTFILE Filename to save pdf to
--svg_start_scale SVG_START_SCALE
When using SVG, this is the largest scale factor to
attempt to generate an image
$ lps --width 970 --page_size a3 --overlap 20 wrap.svg
