NAME

fp2preview - generate a preview for a library footprint

SYNPOSIS

fp2preview [options] [inputfile]

DESCRIPTION

fp2preview invokes pcb-rnd to generate a preview image of a library footprint. Its main use is to have a automated, light-weight footprint preview generator using a static linked pcb-rnd (e.g. on web servers).

OPTIONS

--photo draw the footprint in "photo realistic mode"
-p same as --photo
--grid unit set grid unit e.g. to mm or mil
-g unit same as --grid
--mm use an mm grid instead of a mil grid; shorthand for -g mm
--annotation types turn on annotation types; types is a string that may consist "pins" for pin/pad numbers, "dimname" and "dimvalue" for dimension names and values and "background" for drawing a background under annotation text
