Description

This script provides an API for the pagelayout LaTeX class.

pagelayoutapi getwidth

Returns the width in pixels for the given image file.

pagelayoutapi optimize

Creates a cropped, rezised, sharpend and compressed image and stores it in the cache directory.

pagelayoutapi makeshadow

Creates a shadow image and stores it in the cache directory.

pagelayoutapi start

The import parameter triggers the image import (see pagelayout-manual.pdf chapter "Image Optimization"). Running the command with the parameter turbo, where the jobname is the filename of the document, processes the document in a special batch mode, that creates a batch list and calls the command pagelayoutapi batchoptimize.

pagelayoutapi batchoptimize

Optimizes multiple images in parallel.

Options

--help

Prints a help message.

--version

Prints version information.

Parameters

FILE

filename with extension (eg. IMG1234.JPEG)

FILENAME

filename without extension (eg. IMG1234)

EXTENSION

optimized file extension (.jpg|.png)

DENSITY

density in ppi (eg. 72)

DOWNSAMPLETHRESHOLD

downsample threshold (integer >= 100)

UNSHARP

unsharp filter (eg. 2x1)

QUALITY

quality (integer > 0, <= 100)

STANDARDDEVIATION

standard deviation (decimal > 0.0)

OPACITY

opacity (decimal >= 0.0, <= 1.0)

COLOR

color string (eg. pink)

GRAPHICSPATH

list of directories (eg. {images/}{tmp/})

JOBNAME

LaTeX filename without extension (eg. my-document)

BATCHLIST

a flat list of batch items where each batch item is a flat list of the 15 parameters required by the command `pagelayoutapi optimize`

All other parameters are length dimensions. The command pagelayoutapi optimize expects integer values in the LaTeX unit sp (eg. 65536). The command pagelayoutapi makeshadow expects decimal values in a SVG compatible unit (eg. 420.0pt).

Environment

pagelayoutapi requires ImageMagick 7.0 or later and Inkscape 1.0 or later.

PAGELAYOUT_IMPORT_DIRECTORY

Defines a system wide import directory.
