# :calendar: calendizer README
Calendizer is a simple Python command line tool that generates a set of calendar-month tables and pastes them onto a given set of 12 photos.
A quick way to make your own calendar for printing.
## Why calendizer and self-printing
Self-printing has several advantages over online/order printing:
- you can iterate several test-prints to get things just right
- often images print slightly darker than on-screen, and self-printing allows you to adjust for that
- no waiting about for the post!
- depending on your printer and the volume, it can be cheaper
The size and position of the calendar-table is fully configurable for each month.
This allows for self-printing calendars in a timely manner.
## Usage
To generate 12 images of a mini calendar:
`python render_calendar_tables.py `
To take 12 images and use them to create a calendar:
`python calendize.py `
For a full list of options, just type the relevant command:
`python render_calendar_tables.py`
`python calendize.py`
### Tips
By default, **calendizer** tries to auto-calculate the DPI and margins.
It uses the table in [CSV format](image_sizes.csv.config) to perform the calculation.
Via the `--dpi` option, you can override this calculation.
With an input image of size 4000 x 3000, these settings seem to work well:
`--dpi 450 -b 100 -r 100`
Settings for other image sizes:
| Image size | Settings |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------- |
| 6000 x 4000 'full frame' | `--dpi 600 -b 150 -r 150` |
| 4000 x 2700 | `--dpi 400 -b 80 -r 80` |
| 3000 x 2000 | `--dpi 325 -b 60 -r 60` |
| 2500 x 1800 | `--dpi 250 -b 40 -r 40` |
| 2300 x 1500 | `--dpi 250 -b 40 -r 40 ` |
There is an alpha (transparency) option:
`-a 0.8`
but printing on a small size like 2L or A5 looks better with the default opaque setting.
Example:
`calendize.py --dpi 450 -b 100 -r 100`
