``pdfschedule`` is a Python 3 script for creating PDF documents showing
one's weekly schedule of events.

Installation
============
``pdfschedule`` requires Python 3.8 or higher. Just use `pip
`_ for Python 3 (You have pip, right?) to install
``pdfschedule`` and its dependencies::

python3 -m pip install pdfschedule

Usage
=====

::

pdfschedule [] [ []]

Input — formatted as described below under "`Input Format`_" — is read from
```` (defaulting to standard input), and the resulting PDF is written
to ```` (defaulting to ```` with its file extension changed to
``.pdf``, or to standard output if ```` is standard input).

Options
-------

-C, --color Color the event boxes various colors instead of just
grey.

-E TIME, --end-time TIME
Specify the time of day at which each day should start.
Times are specified in the format ``HH:MM`` using
24-hour time, the minutes being optional (and
optionally separated from the hour by a colon or
period). Defaults to half an hour before the earliest
event start time or 00:00, whichever is later.

-F FONT, --font FONT Typeset text in the given font. ``FONT`` must be
either the name of a builtin PostScript font or the
path to a ``.ttf`` file. By default, text is typeset
in Helvetica.

-f SIZE, --font-size SIZE
Set the size of the font used for event information to
``SIZE`` (default 10). The names of the days of the
week are typeset at ``SIZE * 1.2``; the times of day
are typeset at ``SIZE / 1.2``.

-M, --start-monday Use Monday as the first day of the week instead of
Sunday.

-p, --portrait Typeset the table in "portrait mode," i.e., with the
shorter side of the paper as the width. The default is
to typeset it in "landscape mode."

-s FACTOR, --scale FACTOR
Divide the length of each side of the table by
``FACTOR``. Without this option, the table fills the
whole page, except for a one-inch margin on each side.

-S TIME, --start-time TIME
Specify the time of day at which each day should end.
Times are specified in the format ``HH:MM`` using
24-hour time, the minutes being optional (and
optionally separated from the hour by a colon or
period). Defaults to half an hour after the latest
event end time or 24:00, whichever is earlier.

-T, --no-times Do not show the times for each hour line.

--no-weekends Do not show Sunday and Saturday.

Input Format
============

Input is a `YAML `_ list of dictionaries. Each dictionary
represents a single weekly event and must contain the following keys:

``name``
*(optional)* The (possibly multiline) text to display in the event's box on
the schedule

``days``
The days of the week on which the event occurs, specified as a string of one
or more of the following abbreviations in any order (optionally with
intervening whitespace and/or commas):

=================================== =========
Abbreviation Day
=================================== =========
``Su`` or ``Sun`` Sunday
``M`` or ``Mo`` or ``Mon`` Monday
``T`` or ``Tu`` or ``Tue`` Tuesday
``W`` or ``We`` or ``Wed`` Wednesday
``H`` or ``R`` or ``Th`` or ``Thu`` Thursday
``F`` or ``Fr`` or ``Fri`` Friday
``Sa`` or ``Sat`` Saturday
=================================== =========

Case is significant. Unknown abbreviations are ignored.

``time``
The start & end times of the event in the format ``HH:MM - HH:MM``. Times
are specified in 24-hour format, the minutes being optional (and optionally
separated from the hour by a colon or period).

``color``
*(optional)* The background color of the event's box, given as six
hexadecimal digits. The default background color is either grey or, if
``--color`` is in effect, taken from a small palette of basic colors based
on the event's index.

Example
=======

The following input file:

.. code:: yaml

- name: Garfield impersonation
days: M
time: 7-9
color: "FFB04E"

- name: Work to live
days: MTWRF
time: 9-17

- name: |
Exercise class
(The one on Main Street)
days: M, W, F
time: 17:00 - 18:00
color: "29FF65"

- name: Have they brought back my favorite show yet?
days: R
time: 19-19.30
color: "FF84DF"

- name: Poor decisions
days: F
time: 22-23.59
color: "000000"

- name: Sleep in
days: SatSun
time: 7-12
color: "4226C4"

produces (using the default options) an output file that looks like this:
