can then be printed on a common inkjet printer, cut and glued together into a

Plakativ allows one to create a poster using one of three different approaches:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- I want a poster of size X
|
|
|
|
|
- I want a poster X times the input page page area
|
|
|
|
|
- I have X pages of paper and want to print the biggest possible poster on them
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plakativ works on Windows, Linux and MacOS. It offers a GUI based on tkinter, a
|
|
|
|
|
command line interface and can be used as a Python module. Everything is inside
|
|
|
|
|
a single file.

Plakativ allows one to make posters with three different goals in mind:
|
|
|
|
|
The demo shows a user choosing between the three different ways to define the
|
|
|
|
|
poster size. Either my picking a size that the input will be fit into, by
|
|
|
|
|
multiplying the area of the input page or by maximizing the poster size, given
|
|
|
|
|
a number of pages one is willing to print on.

In contrast to other solutions, plakativ tries hard to find a page
|
|
|
|
|
configuration that wastes as little paper as possible, offering three different
|
|
|
|
|
layouter algorithms.
