ezdxf pillow Draw and convert DXF files by the Pillow backend

6

SYNOPSIS

8       ezdxf pillow  [-h] [-o OUT] [-l LAYOUT] [-i IMAGE_SIZE] [-b BACKGROUND]
9       [-r OVERSAMPLING] [-m MARGIN] [-t {0,1,2,3}] [--dpi DPI] [-v] [FILE]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       An advantage over the ezdxf-draw(1) command is the speed and much  less
13       memory  usage; a disadvantage is the lower text rendering quality.  The
14       speed advantage is lost for the text modes OUTLINE and FILLED,  because
15       the text-path rendering is done by Matplotlib, but the advantage of the
16       lower memory consumption remains.

OPTIONS

19   POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
20       FILE   DXF file to draw
21
22   OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
23       -h, --help
24              show a help message and exit
25
26       -o OUT, --out OUT
27              output filename, the filename extension defines the image format
28              (.png, .jpg, .tif, .bmp, ...)
29
30       -l LAYOUT, --layout LAYOUT
31              name of the layout to draw, default is “Model”
32
33       -i IMAGE_SIZE, --image_size IMAGE_SIZE
34              image  size in pixels as “width,height”, default is "1920,1080",
35              “1920,1080”, supports also “x” as delimiter like “1920x1080”.  A
36              single  integer is used for both directions e.g.  “2000” defines
37              an image size of 2000x2000.   The  image  is  centered  for  the
38              smaller DXF drawing extent.
39
40       -b BACKGROUND, --background BACKGROUND
41              override  background  color  in  hex format “RRGGBB” “RRGGBBAA”,
42              e.g. use “FFFFFF00” to get a white transparent background and  a
43              black  foreground color (ACI=7), because a light background gets
44              a black foreground color or vice versa “00000000”  for  a  black
45              transparent background and a white foreground color.
46
47       -r OVERSAMPLING, --oversampling OVERSAMPLING
48              oversampling  factor,  default is 2, use 0 or 1 to disable over‐
49              sampling
50
51       -m MARGIN, --margin MARGIN
52              minimal margin around the image in pixels, default is 10
53
54       -t {0,1,2,3}, --text-mode {0,1,2,3}
55              text mode: 0=ignore, 1=placeholder, 2=outline, 3=filled, default
56              is 2
57
58       --dpi DPI
59              output  resolution  in  pixels/inch which is significant for the
60              linewidth, default is 300
61
62       -v, --verbose
63              give more output
64
