Available options:

• NONE

• PACKBIT

• LZW

Default setting is LZW.

FALSE

Optional

-L

If set to True, anti-aliasing removes or reduces the jagged distortions in curves and diagonal lines so that lines appear smoother. This option is applied when colour depth = 24 or 32.

FALSE

Optional

--output-template

-o

Output templates control which data layers get sent to the output. New templates are created in HPD Paper Chart Editor.

FALSE

Optional

--boundary-colour

-C

Set the colour of the boundary of the exported area in the output.

Default setting is RGB(0,0,0).

FALSE

-u

If set to True, the Windows login user name is appended to the annotation text.

If both user name and time stamp are chosen, a colon (:) is inserted between them.

FALSE

Optional

--annotation-timestamp

-i

If set, to True, a timestamp showing the date and time of the export is appended to the annotation text.

If both user name and time stamp are chosen, a colon separator (:) is inserted between them.

FALSE

--annotation-justification

-j

Set the justification of the annotation.to one of:

• LEFT

• RIGHT

• CENTRE

Default is LEFT.

FALSE

Optional

--annotation-position

-P

• TOP

• BOTTOM

• RIGHT

• LEFT

Default setting is BOTTOM.

FALSE

Default setting is 2 mm.

FALSE

Optional

--annotation-indent

-I

Set the distance (mm) for the annotation indent from the origin. Only used when justification is LEFT or RIGHT.

Default is 0.

FALSE

Optional

--sheet-with-panel

-S

Export the sheet several times, each time with a different geo-referenced panel.

FALSE

Optional
