pagelayoutapi - API for the pagelayout LaTeX class

pagelayoutapi was written by Friedemann Bartels. https://github.com/friedemannbartels

       This script provides an API for the pagelayout LaTeX class.

       pagelayoutapigetwidth
              Returns the width in pixels for the given image file.

       pagelayoutapigetheight
              Returns the height in pixels for the given image file.

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

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

       pagelayoutapistart
              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 pagelayoutapibatchoptimize.

       pagelayoutapibatchoptimize
              Optimizes multiple images in parallel.

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

       PAGELAYOUT_IMPORT_DIRECTORY
              Defines a system wide import directory.

--help Prints a help message.

       --version
              Prints version information.

       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 pagelayoutapioptimize expects integer values in
       the LaTeX unit sp (eg. 65536). The command pagelayoutapimakeshadow  expects  decimal  values  in  a  SVG
       compatible unit (eg. 420.0pt).
