Examples
~~~~~~~~

Save single picture to PDF:

.. code::

    $ pictureshow pics/potato.jpg -o potato.pdf
    .
    Saved 1 picture (1 page) to 'potato.pdf'

Save multiple pictures, four pictures per page (two columns, two rows),
set page orientation to landscape:

.. code::

    $ pictureshow -l 2x2 -L vegetables/* -o vegetables
    ..................................................
    Saved 50 pictures (13 pages) to 'vegetables.pdf'

(Please note that if the output filename has no extension specified,
``.pdf`` will be appended to it. This only applies for the command line tool.)

You can also save pictures from URLs:

.. code::

    $ pictureshow https://httpbin.org/image/jpeg https://httpbin.org/image/png -o pics
    ..
    Saved 2 pictures (2 pages) to 'pics.pdf'

But please note that this feature is not tested and depends solely on
the underlying reportlab_ backend.


As a Python library
-------------------


Using the ``PictureShow`` class
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Example:

.. code-block:: python

    from pictureshow import PictureShow

    pictures = PictureShow(
        'pics/cucumber.jpg',
        'pics/onion.jpg',
    )
    pictures.save_pdf('vegetables.pdf')

The customization parameters of the ``save_pdf`` method are keyword-only and
their default values correspond to the above shown command line options:

.. code-block:: python

    PictureShow.save_pdf(
        output_file,
        *,
        force_overwrite=False,
        page_size='A4',
        landscape=False,
        bg_color=None,
        layout=(1, 1),
        margin=72,
        stretch_small=False,
        fill_cell=False,
    )


Using the ``pictures_to_pdf`` shortcut function
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Example:

.. code-block:: python

    from pictureshow import pictures_to_pdf

    pictures_to_pdf(
        'pics/cucumber.jpg',
        'pics/onion.jpg',
        output_file='vegetables.pdf',
    )

The customization parameters of the ``pictures_to_pdf`` function are keyword-only
and their default values correspond to the above shown command line options:

.. code-block:: python

    pictures_to_pdf(
        *pic_files,
        output_file,
        force_overwrite=False,
        page_size='A4',
        landscape=False,
        bg_color=None,
        layout=(1, 1),
        margin=72,
        stretch_small=False,
        fill_cell=False,
    )
